Leave about three inches of space from the top of the box to help the cans reach the lighting level
Finish the rest of this “fire pit” for the s’mores bar

Step 2. Set up the s’mores bar with the ingredients

Light the heating fuel cans with a lighter

What Do You Put In A Dessert Bar At A Wedding?

Your wedding dessert bar menu can include mini treats like cupcakes, tarts, cookies, pies, cobblers, or even parfaits. Bar-shaped sweets will also undoubtedly be appreciated by different guests, so why not include cheesecake bars, banana bars, or blondies, to name a few.

How do I start a dessert bar?

Position the dessert bar in a spot in the venue where it’s out of direct sunlight, regardless of whether it’s indoors or outdoor
Cover the dessert bar table with the same color as the dominant color of the desserts you’ll serve; never use a table cloth that drapes to the floor as the guests might step on it and potentially yank it off
Use LED when lighting up the dessert bar as it doesn’t generate heat; if you include a s’mores fire pit, keep the other desserts that melt quickly far from it
In an indoor wedding venue, pick the coolest spot and increase the AC settings if needed to ensure that the desserts won’t melt or soften; there’s no need to refrigerate the sweets on your wedding as they might sweat once outside the fridge
Make sure that the dessert bar is accessible all around to hasten the movement of the line of guests
Offer varying heights on the displays and containers of the desserts; use tiered platters, different sizes jars, trays, and platters for visual effect
Don’t forget to include various serving utensils and napkins on the wedding dessert bar
Print out signs to let the guests know the type of each item on your dessert bar; you can learn how to make acrylic wedding signs if you want something classy and unique for your dessert bar

What Goes On A Wedding Dessert Table?

How many desserts should you have at a wedding?

It’s difficult to mention a specific number on how many types of desserts you must have on your wedding dessert table. Instead, consider how big your wedding is and the variety of the guests.

Try two candies, two homemade desserts, and at least one special treat if you want many options. For the number of desserts to order, assume that each guest will take two pieces of dessert, even if you’ll also serve your wedding cake.

If you are also giving the desserts as goodies for the guests to take home, count three servings.

What Kind Of Desserts Do You Have At A Wedding?

Provide various dessert options based on the dietary restrictions and avoid potential allergies of your guests
