The Dessert Buffet

WARNING! This is not for the Bridal dieters :)!

This next post is for those who are OK to drool over some yummy sweets that will fulfill our dessert buffet at the wedding.

We are going to have a variety of miniature desserts. Our goal was to provide a dessert other than the cake that can be eaten without having to have plates thus the miniature (fingerfood) size. We have been lucky enough to have my awesome Aunt L to provide some delicious desserts for the table. The remaining table will be supplemented with other mini goodies such as cupcakes, brownies and even handmade flavored gourmet marshmallows (yes, marshmallows!) from other bakers / bakeries.

My Aunt L will be providing the following delicious desserts, which she had supplied at my shower to taste test:

• Cake Balls (Chocolate, Strawberry & Lemon)
• Ricotta Cookies (with & without chocolate chips)
• Black Bottom Cheesecakes
• Thumbprint Cookies with Apricot or Raspberry filling
• Mini-Cheesecake with Cherry topping
• Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate Cake Balls

Sample desserts at my shower to be made for the wedding

I have seen these flavored gourmet marshmallows all over Etsy and all the buyers have given them great reviews so why not incorporate this unique snack in our wedding. So I turned to MiaMallows to purchase her 36 piece gourmet assortment. To pick out the 6 flavors, I asked my FI and our mothers to come up with their top 6 flavors from MiaMallows flavors list (Banana, Blueberry, Caramel, Cherry, Chocolate, Coconut, Coffee, Dulce De Leche, Lemon, Lime, Orange, Peach, Peanut Butter, Pina Colada, Pineapple, Raspberry, Strawberry, Vanilla (Original Flavor). I came up with our selections by what was requested more.

The 6 flavors we chose are:

• Chocolate
• Strawberry
• Vanilla
• Peanut Butter
• Dulce De Leche
• Banana
  
  

Are you drooling yet?

As mentioned above we will supplement the buffet with other goodies from other bakers / bakeries. I haven't quite made the final decision yet as to whether we will be getting cupcakes from the supermarket, Wegmans, or an AWESOME local Vegan bakery called Vegan Treats. Wegmans would be delicious and more budget friendly but they would not be nearly as pretty as the Vegan Treats cupcakes. The Vegan cupcakes are the least budget friendly with 36 cupcakes for $52+ dollars but if they are half as good as their other desserts they will be worth every penny, I am just afraid I won't get to have one :).

Here is a picture from their website of their cupcakes...oh and this is how they really look in person too!! OMG!

So what would you go for? The budget friendly cupcake or the eye appealing cupcake?

I can just buy the cupcakes and keep them all to myself too :)... J/K
