My fiance and I are big sweet tooths so we are having a dessert/candy buffet at our wedding. As our favor (so to speak) we are providing take out boxes so our guests can take dessert on the road.
Our menu is as follows:
Cocktail Hour:
Cheese/veggie/fruit display
Dinner (buffet style):
Baked chicken
Ham
stuffed shells (V)
mixed salad with a selection of dressings
macaroni and cheese
pretzel salad (or baked cinnamon apples depending on what is available)
green beans almandine
scalloped potatoes
fresh rolls
Beverages:
Lemonade
iced tea
water
sodas
beer
wine
signature cocktail (likely apple cider with cinnamon vodka)
(We were originally planning on allowing people to purchase their own hard liquor but per the advice here, we have scrapped that)
chocolate and vanilla cupcakes (in lieu of a regular cake)
Dessert Bar (cakes and pies will be cut into small slices for people to be able to try):
pumpkin pie and cannoli ice cream (my FMIL manages an AMAZING ice cream parlor)
coconut cake
banana walnut cake
tin roof cake
apple crumb pie
pecan cream cheese pie
topsy-turvy pie
chocolate cream pie
pumpkin pie
lemon meringue pie
coconut custard pie
We are thinking of adding chocolate chip cookies and brownie bites (probably from sams club tbh, both for simplicity and to adhere to our venue's policies that food must be prepared in a health department approved kitchen)
With the sheer amount of dessert being offered, we aren't planning to offer a huge amount/variety of it. I was thinking the following:
mini chocolate bars and reese's cups
mints
caramel creams
salt water taffy (from a local place known for it)
dumdums or some kind of fruity candy
I am not big on the color coordinate to your wedding thing but I also only want to do wrapped candies for the non-icky factor. Do you think all of this sounds okay?
