I need a shower dessert for 25. Anybody have a sure fire hit that kind of fits the theme?
 
The last 4 bridal showers I've done AND for the 2 I've got this weekend, I'm doing (and have done) the triple chocolate fudge microwave cake! It always gets wows and sells the fluted stones. I've done other flavors at the showers too......I know a lot of people don't like them, but I love them and they always do well for me!
 
Trifle. Take your pick.
 
There's also the berries and cream wonton cups....really pretty, but I think the girls above have it right...the fluted pan and trifle bowl is higher priced. The trifle bowl will look gorgeous and you can show all the features!
 
Profiterole Puffs or Strawberry Amaretto Pastries cut in half (to make more) are my votes. Both show stoneware and are YUMMY! :)

I do a trifle, the recipe is from allrecipes.com, It's always a hit at my parties!! Just search chocolate trife, it was submitted by wayne. Sometimes I add carmel topping or toffee pieces to it.
 
What is the Berries & Cream Wonton Cups recipe?
 
I do the berries and wonton cups too, but I use pie crust instead of the wontons. It does not crumble in your hand as much when you bite into it. I use strawberry yogurt. Along with them I do chocolate covered strawberries and a filled strawberries. The three recipes are displayed on the Three Tiered Stand for a very striking display.

Lisa the wedding shower doc. is great! Thank you for sharing.
 
Thank you for the recipe and the flyer! They sound so yummy!
 
I am going to make these for my mom's birthday coming up. Yummy is right!
 
I also change the header on the document to "Strawberry Festival" and use it at my late spring, early summer shows when strawberries are in season. Another VERY quick strawberry idea is a Nilla Wafer with Cool Whip (use Easy Accent Decorator), topped with a strawberry half.

P.S. Robyn - I am an art teacher too - middle school.
 
Can you please post the recipe for the triple chocolate fudge cake? Thank you!!!
 
I did a brunch shower once and pre-made a breakfast bar thing in the large bar pan (it's a PC recipe, forget what it's called) and a trifle using pound cake, vanilla togurt, fresh berries and granola (didn't have a recipe, made it up myself).
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What are some easy dessert ideas for a bridal shower with 25 guests?

Some easy dessert ideas include mini cupcakes, a dessert bar with assorted cookies, chocolate-covered strawberries, and a tiered cake. You can also consider individual servings like parfaits or jars filled with layered desserts for a more elegant touch.

How can I incorporate a theme into the bridal shower desserts?

To incorporate a theme, choose desserts that match the color scheme or style of the bridal shower. For example, if the theme is rustic, consider serving pies in mason jars or a naked cake. For a floral theme, use edible flowers to decorate cupcakes or cakes.

What are some gluten-free dessert options for guests?

Gluten-free dessert options include flourless chocolate cake, macarons, and fruit tarts made with almond flour crusts. You can also serve gluten-free brownies or a selection of gluten-free cookies to ensure all guests can enjoy the treats.

How can I make desserts ahead of time for a bridal shower?

Many desserts can be made ahead of time, such as cookies, brownies, and cakes. Store them in airtight containers to keep them fresh. You can also prepare components like frosting or fillings in advance and assemble them on the day of the shower for a fresh presentation.

What are some presentation ideas for the dessert table?

For an attractive dessert table, use varying heights by incorporating cake stands and decorative trays. Arrange desserts in clusters and use themed decorations like flowers, candles, or signage. Label each dessert to help guests choose their favorites and enhance the overall aesthetic.
