Planning Dessert Table - Can't Decide...

Hello Ladies!

I'm currently trying to finalize my menu and dessert table for my 50 guest brunch wedding reception in September. The reception is a cute small rustic bright restaurant in Ouest Island of Montreal and I couldn't be happier! Smiley love . I was able to customize my hors d'oeuvres and menu with no issues...but having a hard time finding out what to do for the dessert table and remain on budget.

Here is what I currently have as ideas:

-Instead of having a 3 tier wedding cake, I am aiming to have 3 cakes (different sizes) on stands.

-There is a fruit platter on a mirror that is included with the menu.

-I would like to make heart shape sugar cookies to go with the theme of Kingdom Hearts & Disney.


I dont know how much dessert I need or if I need other things to make it more appealing.

I would love to hear some ideas! Smiley heart

    Love your choices of dessert and enough to feed your guests. I would however just make sure that if the cakes will be different kinds so there is variety over 1 kind of flavour. Reason for this opinion is because of the amount wasted after the fact. Not all guests will be cake lovers.

    I'm late to this discussion, but I thought I'd add - try to hit sweet and salty notes with some dessert, to cater to people with less of a sweet tooth. Include dark chocolate as well. You can't go wrong with truffles. A dessert table is a good place to incorporate some of your personal faves. My fiance loves those hard-to-find strawberry kit-kats, so I'm ordering a bulk shipment to add to our sweet table as a surprise.

    These suggestions sound amazing!!
    Yeah I cannot wait to put the wedding together with diy for kindgom hearts & disney themes.
    Originally I wanted cupcakes with a 1 tier cake but the estimate was too much for a simple thing.
    Donuts might work actually. Sounds interesting!
    Thanks for the suggestions!! ♡♡

    Ok first, LOVE your name!
    2nd, can I come to this wedding because kingdom hearts cookies is legit the best thing I have ever heard of
    3rd, I would suggest maybe doing some cupcakes or other little desserts! Not too much you seem to have a lot already! But check with the person who's making your cake to see if they do any little things too and can make a package deal for you!
    Or! If doing fruit maybe have a chocolate fountain to go along with them?

    You could also do cupcakes! I find that cupcakes are becoming more popular with weddings than the traditional 3 tiered cake. You can still get a smaller cutting cake if you want something to slice into!

    I think what you have is plenty - especially for a brunch! Not many people can stomach sweets that early in the day (or is that just me?).

    If you were to add something more I would suggest maybe some doughnuts or I know!! - a croquembouche!
