Sweets Table

Hi
i just did this yesterday at the bakery. I’m Jacob. 120 guest I got
30 of each mini pasteries 6 kinds
a mini cake to cut
1 pound of pretzels
5 pounds of cookies
80 doughnuts

we might change a few things but I’m pretty happy overall.

The lady at the bakery said to order one and half pastry per person.

Our invited guest list is at 186 we are hoping for 150.
I have a
3 tiered cake that feeds 120 (3 flavors)
a cheesecake (groomsman cake)
and 4 different kinds of mini dessert shooters 40 each/160 total.

Hey Sara!! Welcome to the WeddingWire community! There are general quantity suggestions for wedding desserts. Have you asked your baker what they would recommend? They would have a pretty good idea of how much dessert you would need for a wedding of your size.

How big is the cheesecake you are proposing? Generally, a 10-inch round cake would serve 38 people, while a 12-inch would serve 56.

How many different types of mini desserts are you planning on having? Don’t forget, you will also have your wedding cake!

I was told 3-4 items per guest depending on size. I am going with 3 per person because our cheesecakes are full size and the cupcakes are in between mini and full size. Had I gone with minis I was told 4 items per person. And the baker also said to expect that the more options you give the more people will load up on their plates so keep the plate sizes very small.
