Today there are so many options when it comes to serving your guests dessert. Does your grandma bake up a mean Snickerdoodle? Then serve one of those to each quest beautifully wrapped in clear cellophane and tied with a bow. How about one my personal favorite, Cupcakes.  Everyone loves cupcakes!  Yummy Tarts, Tiramisu, Mini Pies, Banana Mousse even Italian Cannolis. Buffets “Oh Yes” Dessert or Candy; we won’t even start on those. The ideas are endless; just remember choose one that represents your style.

        Go on taste the cake…

First start off by finding a great baker; schedule a time to do a tasting, even if there’s a charge. I believe that its money well spent. Why would you spend the money on cake and not know what you’re serving your guests. Because if it tastes bad no one will eat it and now you’ve paid for an uneaten cake and possibly the cutting charge for serving it and contary to popular belief; wedding guests always look forward to the cake.                                                             
The bonus is you get to spend a day eating cake, how bad is that?

       Second, Please…Don’t hide the cake!

      Most of the time you have put a lot of money and energy in to choosing your cake so it represents who you are. Put your cake up front by an entrance or displayed beautifully on a table where all can see it. Take advantage of how beautiful it is, use it as part of the decor and enjoy it.
