Frequently Asked Questions
How much dessert per person for a dessert table?
Plan for 2-3 pieces of dessert per person. With variety available, people tend to take smaller portions to sample more items.
How do I balance the dessert table?
Offer 2 chocolate items (brownies, chocolate cake/cupcakes) and 2 non-chocolate (vanilla/lemon cake, sugar cookies). Include one fruity option if possible.
