Cake + Desert bar (servings etc)

Kalynne, on June 17, 2019 at 9:25 AM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 4
My fiancé is not a cake person... at all, but we know some sort of cake or so be expected, especially with the older crowd. I’m thinking a wedding cake, lemon bars, cookies... open to other suggestions. (Probably no donuts, cheesecake, or cake balls)

So my question is aimed towards those of you who have done a desert bar:
How many guests did you have?
how many did the cake you ordered serve?

List of attendees isn’t finalized, but it will be between 150-175. I don’t want cake for 150 + other deserts bc I think that’s overkill...


thanks in advance!

    We had a small cake that served about 1/3 of guests (we had 50 guests total) because our venue had provided 3 dessert shots per person. Everyone who wanted cake seemed to get a piece and we had at least 1/3 of the shots left.

    Cake, cookie & lemon bars sounds like a great combo. I would order a cookie for everyone (e.g. 150-200) then maybe a cake that would feed & lemon bars that would each feed 75 guests?

    We are doing one! We are having around 120 guests, so 2.5 small bites per person. Our small bites include brownies, mini cupcakes, cheesecake bites, chocolate covered strawberries, and cookies. Our cutting cake will serve 6 people and that's it.

    You could do a cake just big enough for you to cut and save the rest or serve just your bridal party. You don’t have to have cake for everyone. A dessert bar is way more fun and gives people choices.
