I would also advise to chose desserts that are universally liked, and easy to eat. No one Is going to eat a handful of jelly beans at a wedding, and many don’t want to mess up the nice display. I’ve found small cakes, brownies and iced cookies always do well. Also, scoops and tongs are a good bonus

I'm making the food for my wedding in a week, and I'm excited for my dessert table. As a professional pastry chef, I have some general advice.
A rule of thumb that a lot of professionals use is, amongst the entire table, you need at least 1.5 "bites" per person. You want enough for everyone to have the chance to get something for the table, and maybe get seconds, but also factoring in the fact that some people also don't want sweets.
I always keep in mind the "big 3" categories: Chocolaty, Fruity, and Nutty. People have a wide variety of tastes/allergies, so it's important to have as many differing types represented. If someone is allergic to citrus, they can't have the lemon bars, but they can have a brownie. If someone can't eat nuts, they can't have the macaron, but they can have the oreo. Also, oreos are vegan, so they're a great easy vegan option as well. Jamie's dessert table is a good example: even though it's a bit chocolate heavy, it still has other flavor/ingredient options.
The key, if you're setting up your own table, is to prep ahead of time. Baked cake, brownies, banana bread, cookie dough, etc. can all be frozen in advance, allowing you to space out your preparations, so you don't have to panic on the big day. Bake a few things at a time, ahead of time, freeze it, thaw it the night before.
My dessert table will have cake (earl grey and lavender flavor), cream puffs, assorted sweet breads, mini fruit and yogurt parfaits, and mini vegan puddings.

I have important advice to share about dessert tables with an assortment of desserts. I chose a dessert table for my wedding of about 90-100 guests and I ordered 32 dozen desserts for the table. When I say I didn’t even get to see the table, and it was EMPTY in under 15 minutes, I am not exaggerating. I only had about 2 cookies from it because a bridesmaid thought to grab us something before it was empty. All I mean to say, is that you’d be wise to get more than what seems like enough. When you have an assortment, people want to try a little bit of everything, and so each guest may fill a small plate for themselves! I never thought of this and so in retrospect, I now know that I should have bought more, OR had less options to choose from. Happy planning!!:)

Jamie- after rescheduling twice, our venue cancelling on us, and lots of other planning chaos, my wedding is this weekend. you have been such a huge help and watching your videos helped me get excited about wedding planning again after a long COVID hiatus. I cant thank you enough! Wish me luck this weekend :)

[Chettopuffs]

I highly recommend Costco, sams club, and even family baking. Also there’s usually quince stores that have lots of candy.

I'm currently trying to decide on my daughter's dessert options...she doesn't want JUST cake, and 17 dozen cupcakes is just NOT in the budget...thank you for taking the pressure off of me and giving extra options suitable for dessert table....as well as how to style it

[Tazzy]

So im doing something a bit interesting for my wedding in october. Yes I ordered a cake but we are having a girl scout cookie dessert table along with a cake

[jesseminuto]

The cookie table (a local tradition) is honestly one of the things I’m most excited about for my wedding this weekend. I think we’re expecting around 170 dozen cookies 😳😳

[SarahLarsonwgm]

So cute! I wish I had done more with decorating my dessert table. My mother contributed some of the desserts, my mother in law made some cookies, I made some dessert ...but we all made things we could make and freeze so we could do them a few weeks before. And we got mini cheesecakes from Sam's club. They are like 64 for $14 and each is about 3-4 bites each.

[eleanorrichardson]

Gorgeously done, but I'm seriously trying to work out how that's enough dessert for 50-75 people 🤣🤣

[visabel]

We will do a small dessert table, likely have holiday treats since we are having a December wedding. 🥰

[AngieRodriguez-gozs]

I love when the two of you do these together, you are both such a hoot! Thanks

[largebrownie]

Love this video! How early can you put your dessert food out before guests will be eating it? Specifically it'll be indoors, so not in the sun, but I really don't want anything going a bit dry and stale, but I want to make sure there's enough time to set it up and have it looking pretty. Is before the ceremony even starts too soon?

[samanthawilson]

So excited to watch this!! You ladies are so beautiful and talented, clearly it runs in the family 😉

[chadelainehuertas]

Watching vicariously and with full support knowing my venue doesn’t allow us to do our own dessert table and we have to go thru their preferred caterer 😂❤️

[marycoody]

Ladies, truly love your ideas and they are exactly what I enjoy doing myself. You are very creative, any ideas for carry in dessert and or buffet tables? Keep up your your great work and loved the cheese cloth idea.

[kylaj]

“Makes it more Keto.” 😂😂😂😂 Thank you. I appreciate the thought. 😘❤️

[adriennebayles]

This is so helpful! How far in advance can you set up the table if inside?

[erin]

I loved this video! Thank you for the advice and the setup turned out amazing!

[kellykovach]

I love how the dessert tables are getting popular around the country. I grew up north of Pittsburgh so the next thing after congratulations ur getting married is yeah cookie table.
