Raise Your Hand if You Love Dessert!

When planning a celebration, there are 5 main components to consider when allocating the budget. These items include the venue, the food and alcohol, the entertainment, the date, and finally, party favors. We covered great favors in our last blog post, and we h

ave also covered them here. This post is all about dessert.

Dessert is part of the food budget along with alcohol. Event planners can expect to spend 20% of the budget on all aspects of food, alcohol, and dessert. There are many great ways to have the dessert table be an impressive, beautiful, and delicious focal point of the event.

If the celebration is a wedding, birthday, or quinceañera, a celebration cake will be the first type of dessert that comes to mind. But don’t feel like cake is the only option if something more creative comes to mind. At Royal Affairs Ballroom, our preferred vendor for cake and other dessert items is always the impressive and talented Irene of Irene’s Bakery. Irene’s Bakery is conveniently located right here in Old Town Lewisville.

Irene’s Bakery offers a variety of sweet treats to satisfy and impress guests. From cakes to cupcakes, cake balls, and cookies, there are numerous beautiful and delicious options to choose from for a special occasion.

What if there is something else to consider for a celebration? Many guests include special preferences on an overflowing dessert table. Let’s talk about some other options to consider for a special occasion.

Donuts - work with a favorite donut shop to have a variety of options on a full dessert table. Think eclairs, apple fritters, glazed twists, donuts, and donut holes.
Brownies and bars - brownies and other sweet bars are popular options, especially if offered a la mode. Not much beats a warm brownie with ice cream.
Cookies - this is becoming a very popular dessert option. Offer a cookie table with a plethora of options. Traditional chocolate chip, oatmeal crisps, thumbprint cookies, sugar cookies, snickerdoodles, shortbread, macarons, macaroons, gingerbread, chocolate crinkles, alfajores, and more!
Pie - one bride and groom chose an array of pies rather than a traditional wedding cake. The result? Delicious! Cherry pie, peach pie, berry crumble pie, chocolate cream pie, coconut cream pie, lemon meringue pie, and more will top off the guests’ palates in the most delicious way.
Cake balls or cake pops - cake balls make a great addition to the table. They are the perfect bite of cake without feeling overfull. For those guests who don’t love dessert, the cake ball or pop is the perfect way to end the evening. They have a taste of sweetness without the overfull feeling that dessert can bring.
Baklava - this delicate dessert is perfect for those with less of a sweet tooth. Sweetened with honey, the light puff pastry and crunch of the nuts is a beautiful option to add to a dessert table.
Tiramisu and Mousse cups - single-serve cups in various flavors are a beautiful and enticing dessert. These are even fun to add to every place setting. Guests can eat it whenever they want to, which makes it fun and accessible for those who are eager to have the cake cutting take place.
Cheesecake - a dessert table filled with cheesecake only. It’s like walking into Cheesecake Factory and seeing the glass case full of cheesecake, but it’s a party, and you can try a little bit of every flavor available!
Cinnamon rolls - warm cinnamon rolls with just the right amount of frosting are also hard to beat.
Sundae bar - offer a sundae bar where guests can build their own sundae. Offer 2-4 flavors of ice cream with an array of toppings so guests can build their own ice cream sundae.

We have seen every variation of the above list at Royal Affairs Ballroom. All of these options are fun, unique, and delicious. Yes, you can still have a cake to cut if you’re having a wedding celebration, but there is so much more to offer in the way of dessert.

Which idea is your favorite? It might be hard to choose, so you can even combine a couple of the ideas above to make your own, perfect, unique dessert table. The possibilities are endless and can be customized to your preferences and your budget.

At Royal Affairs Ballroom, we love seeing the creativity our clients bring to planning their special occasions at our venue. With our beautiful, open layout, the event can be exactly what you desire and customized to your needs. Call us today at 972-221-6565 for a private tour and to secure your preferred date.
