Easy Sweet for wedding?

Gemmy — Sun, 06 Aug 2017 11:02:16 GMT

I need to make some sweets for a wedding in August - for about 100 people. Someone is doing brownies and someone doing cookies - any suggestions for a bar type sweet? TIA

@Tootie15

Lemon bars is a great idea! Adds something a little tart and fruity to the choices!

Blondies? A good alternative to the brownies being provided.

7 Layer Bars NEVER become leftovers because they're so yummy, but I'm not sure how they'd hold up in extreme heat. You can make them in endless variations by changing up the cookie crumbs, chopped nuts, and candy chips.

If you do these I'd suggest cutting them into bite sized pieces and serving them on individual candy or small cupcake liners to avoid sticky fingers.

You are SO SWEET to contribute to the wedding festivities!

Lookup Mexican wedding cookies. Allrecipes.com have them. They are delicious and easy to make. I've made them so many times.

Another suggestion for cupcakes. I've been to several weddings that have passed on the traditional cake & served simply decorated cupcakes. At an outdoor wedding they were white or chocolate with a white swirled frosting & pearl jimmies. You can make them elegant or simple & everyone seemed to enjoy them. If the cupcakes are a pass then lemon bars dusted with powdered sugar would be nice. Best Wishes to the happy couple.

In addition to the wedding cake or no wedding cake?

Have seen ideas of self serve candy tables

Pinterest would have ideas on that

I'm not a baker so just the though of 100 cupcakes is too much for me 😯

Cake pops would be fun, and different. HSN had a Cake Pop Maker on a couple weeks ago. You can make 35 at a time, and takes 5 minutes.

How about some after dinner mints? You could wrap a small handful in some tulle and ribbon and coordinate it with the bride's colors.

I have seen recipes for mini pecan pie tarts and for pecan pie type bar cookies. Either of those should be great!

What about melt away cookies? They are easy to do in several flavors and disappear so you won't have to worry about leftovers.
