Is this enough for a dessert table?

We are having 150 people. The cake will be two or three tiers. we haven't really decided yet, Waiting to see how many desserts we go with. We'll have 25 of each mini cheesecakes, cookie sandwiches, fresh fruit cups, lemon squares, and candy apples. Thinking about adding on banana pudding and strawberry shortcake shooters. I can add more candy apples if I need to. I don't wanna have too much left over but I don't want to not have enough either. Should I add on mini cupcakes as well

    By my count that's exactly 150 desserts for 150 ppl. Service "rules" say 2.5 to 3 desserts per person is standard. You'll definitely need to add on.

    Thanks! I will definitely do that! I just didn't know with a three tier cake that serves 100 if I needed to do more smaller desserts. I don't want to get stuck with a bunch of left overs. I know there will be some but I don't want 50% left over. I've read too many horror stories lol

    I think this is hard. I understand not wanting to have leftovers, but I've seen cases where there were a bunch of options and some guest took one of almost everything.... (Honestly, it was obnoxious how greedy/grabby some people were.) In some ways, I think too many choices makes it much more complicated. I'd probably do cake and then just one or two options, but have more of each.

    You have to assume each guest will grab one/two of each dessert.
