How to Choose Wedding Desserts – A Complete Guide

A wedding is one of the most important days in life, and desserts are an essential part of every wedding celebration. Whether you're planning an intimate ceremony or a grand celebration, choosing the right treats can make your day even more special. In this guide, we share everything you need to know about selecting the perfect desserts for your wedding.

1. Individual Portions vs. Traditional Wedding Cake

More and more couples are choosing elegant individual portions instead of a classic large cake. Why? Individual portions offer several advantages:

  • Flavor variety – Guests can choose from several types of desserts
  • No cutting – Each portion is ready to serve
  • Visual impact – Individual portions look luxurious and Instagram-worthy
  • Less waste – Each guest gets their portion, no leftovers

2. How to Choose Flavors Everyone Will Love?

The key is balance. We recommend a combination of:

  • Classic flavor – Cheesecake or chocolate for traditionalists
  • Fruity freshness – Strawberry, raspberry, or lemon for those who prefer lighter flavors
  • Premium selection – Pistachio-amarena or coconut-mango for the more sophisticated palate

3. How Many Desserts to Order?

The general rule is 1-1.2 portions per guest. If you have 100 guests, order 100-120 portions. This ensures everyone gets a dessert, and you have a small reserve for those who want to try multiple flavors.

4. Allergens and Special Diets

Always check if any of your guests have allergies or special dietary requirements. We offer gluten-free options and vegan varieties. We recommend clearly marking allergens for each dessert on the wedding menu.

5. When to Order Wedding Desserts?

Ideally, contact the supplier 2-3 months before the wedding. This gives you enough time for tasting, flavor selection, and finalizing details. During wedding season (May-September), we recommend even earlier booking.

6. Presentation and Service

The way desserts are presented is just as important as their taste. Consider:

  • A dessert bar with various individual portions
  • Elegant stands at different heights
  • Serving on plates with floral decorations
