Would you use a caterer for this kind of party?
I was wondering if there was a caterer for strictly desserts only would you use them for a party or whatever? Ex: Triffle dishes, layered cakes, filled cakes, cupcakes all kinds of desserts?
Answers:
Sure!! Call a couple of local caterers and ask them! In many respects it's much easier to put together for them since most don't need to be served hot. If you can't find a caterer to do it, order the dessert from a bakery or restaurant, and hire some waiters to serve the desserts.
CHECK THEIR REP. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES IT VERY PO PER TO JUST DO DESSERTS ONLY
sure, a caterer can be hired for strictly desserts.
May have to do your homework first on who you
hire. Get some references so your certain to
like the items your eating. I truly think this is
a fantastic idea.
I think a pastry chef is what you are looking for. I think that you can do that too. I once threw a dessert party and just had everyone bring their favorite dessert. I provided drinks, plates and utensils. It was awesome and there was so much left over food. It ranged from donuts to a black forest cake and everything in between. It was awesome and my friends loved it.
Maybe. How would this be different then just picking stuff up at a bakery?
I went to a mid-day 40th anniversary party that was "just desserts." I thought it was going to be weird but it was wonderful. The caterer provided 10 different desserts and there were servers to serve it buffet style. The caterer also provided the tableware, coffee, water, iced tea, tablecloths and some lovely savory spiced nuts as a counterpoint to the sweet desserts.
Since the caterer did the setup and cleanup it was a very relaxing party for the hostess and the guests of honor. It was a great party with something for everybody--cheesecakes, chocolate tortes, fresh fruits, pastries mmmmm! The desserts made it very relaxed and informal--it really didn't matter if somebody wasn't eating or if somebody went back four times! There also wasn't a strict service schedule or seating arrangement. The focus was on mingling and reminiscing with the anniversary couple and everybody had a wonderful time.
