For couples who are planning a wedding, there’s usually only one sweet item on their mind: the cake! Of course, nothing will detract from the wedding cake on your wedding day, but if you’re having a buffet, it’s well worth looking into having some other sweet options to keep your guests happy, especially if you have a lot of younger guests attending.
So, here are some ideas to help you keep guests with a sweet tooth happy.
Mini Cupcakes
If you’re booking wedding catering, be sure to ask them about sweet dishes that will be kid friendly. In most cases, the answer will be mini cupcakes. Why? They’re small, lovely, and recognizable, which can be a boon if you have kids attending your wedding who are picky eaters. For extra points with your younger guests, try to book chocolate cupcakes, lemon options, or vanilla ones!
Lemon Panna Cotta
Many weddings will also have mature guests, who may not be too keen on cupcakes. If they are, that’s no issue, a lot of older guests will want something a bit more refined. This is where lemon panna cotta comes in. This Italian dessert is smooth, light, and not too sugary, which is ideal for older guests who may have diabetes or may simply want a softer taste. Presented in a glass cup and topped with cherry compote, this isn’t only a delicious option but adds a touch of class to the sweet table at your reception.
Vegan Chocolate Mousse
Many people presume that vegan desserts aren’t very tasty, but this just shows that they’ve never eaten one! If you have vegan guests at your wedding, or if you simply want to try something different, it’s well worth adding a vegan chocolate mousse to the sweet table. Usually made from a mixture of avocado, silken tofu, and dark cocoa, this is a rich and decadent addition to your wedding reception. Best of all, you can serve it with whipped cream made from coconut milk or even topped with a single raspberry per glass bowl for a touch of color.
Almond Cake
Do you have guests attending your wedding who are gluten-free? Yes, you can make an almond cake without having to add flour. All you need to do is add almond meal in place of traditional flour, and you’ll have a moist, dense texture for a truly delicious cake. To really add a touch of taste, opt for orange almond or chocolate almond mixtures.
Macarons
Last but certainly not least, a crowd-pleaser for all your wedding guests is macarons. These tasty French confections will add a pop of color to your sweet table and, best of all, they’re naturally gluten-free, making them ideal for guests who may have a gluten intolerance. Unsure about which flavors to choose? Why not keep it simple with pistachio, vanilla bean, raspberry, or salted caramel?
Irrespective of the desserts you choose, you should always aim to offer something sweet alongside the wedding cake to keep everyone happy! If you’re hiring a catering team for your wedding sweet treats, be sure to get taster samples!
