The wedding is not complete without a dessert bar your guests won’t forget.
Dessert is one of the most playful and creative aspects of any wedding meal. Desserts are not only colorful and sweet, but they also tend to be everybody’s favorite part of the meal. And although most people think of that iconic, tiered cake in white icing, tradition shouldn’t limit you. Here, wedding dessert bar ideas that will blow your wedding guests away.
Organize your desserts by color. Imagine a dessert section of blue-frosted cupcakes, blueberry-topped pies, blue-frosted doughnuts, and blue macarons next to a red dessert station. Splitting your dessert stations up by color not only spreads out the number of places where people can get dessert, but also makes for an enchanting and bold visual.
Use height variance. The key to any visually appealing dessert display is height variance. Put the cookies on a flat tray and the mini cheesecakes on a tiered serving platter. When serving multiple pies, use multiple pie serving platters of different heights. Whatever you do, keep the heights varied in order to keep the display interesting.
Display your desserts on shelves or in cabinets. Wow your guests with the abundance of sugar by displaying the treats for all to see. Bonus points if the shelves take up the entire wall. The sheer volume will be visually unusual, and not something your guests will forget.
Present desserts as to-go options, too. A sweet treat is important whether it’s a cupcake or cute macaroons, so make a wedding favor out of it. Have wrapped up dessert bags for guests to snag on the way out or eat at the venue.
Think mini. Whether a mini candy bar, cake pops, handheld pies, or itty-bitty cupcakes, think about setting up a dessert bar where every dessert is micro for a simple grab-and-go treat.
