Finger food desserts work well on a wedding dessert table, as they are easy to serve.
You can serve simple desserts like macarons, chocolate covered strawberries or mini cupcakes as your wedding dessert.
You can also make mini version of more complicated desserts such as mille feuille, or go all out and have a chocolate fountain at your wedding!
Macarons
Wedding macarons are beautiful and intricate cookies that can be served on a 3 tier stand, or as a macaron tower on a dessert buffet table.
Wedding macarons can be flavored with a variety of flavors including champagne, pina colada, white chocolate rose, and salted caramel.
Wedding macarons can be colored white, gold, or made to be a specific color to match your wedding colors.
You can even color them blue for a “something blue” theme.
Mini Mille Feuille
Mille feuille is a dessert that is made up of 3 layers of puff pastry.
In between the puff pastry layers is piped vanilla custard. The vanilla custard is made with actual vanilla beans so you can see the tiny vanilla beans in the custard.
Mille feuille has a layer of royal icing on the top of it, with a couple of decorative lines of dark chocolate.
The dark chocolate is made a bit more fancy by using slits with a knife, giving mille feuille its signature look.
Mini mille feuille is a tiny verison of mill feuille and can be served in cupcake liners for an easy finger food dessert.
Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Chocolate covered strawberries are simple, yet the fruit and chocolate combination makes them irresistible!
You can decorate chocolate covered strawberries using a contrasting color of chocolate (white or dark chocolate depending on what kind of chocolate you dipped your strawberries in).
You can drizzle chocolate in lines, or add chocolate scrolls on top.
You can even add sprinkles or a bit of gold dust for more of a fancy look to the chocolate covered strawberries when served at a wedding dessert table.
Mini Cupcakes
Mini cupcakes are a delicious mini version of a cupcake that gives people 1 bite of cake with icing.
Since mini cupcakes are bite sized, there’s no mess with them! They work exceptionally well for a mini dessert table.
You can make a couple of different kinds of mini cupcakes for a wedding dessert table – a lighter flavor like vanilla, and a heavier flavor like red velvet work well together as a variety.
Mini Lemon Tarts
Mini lemon tarts are made by creating pie crust, and then baking the pie crust into tart shells.
The tart shells are filled with lemon cream. Lemon cream is has a buttery, citrusy flavor.
On top of the lemon cream, add a couple of fresh raspberries.
Drizzle a little white chocolate ganache and they’re ready to be served!
Mini lemon tarts are an easy finger food dessert that your guests can enjoy in a couple of bites.
Chocolate Fountain
Chocolate fountains look mesmerizing on a wedding dessert table.
Chocolate fountains are easy to set up and get going.
To prepare the foods to be dipped into the chocolate fountain is another story…
Everything needs to be cut up into bite sized pieces, including fruit, rice krispies, angel food cake, etc.
You can dip several different types of food in a chocolate fountain, so not everything needs to be prepared. Keep this in mind when selecting your foods.
You’ll want to have plates, toothpicks, and napkins readily available for your chocolate fountain.
It’s definitely worth it to have a chocolate fountain on a wedding dessert table given its popularity!
