I'm getting married on June 28th at 2pm. We're having a fun, informal reception and because of the time frame we are having a big dessert spread in lieu of a full meal. This is what we have planned so far:

1. Wedding cake
2. red velvet cupcakes with white sugar topping
3. chocolate truffles
4. fruit tray
5. chocolate cake with peanut butter icing for groom's cake
6. key lime pies
7. lemon pound cake-cut into small squares
8. 2 or 3 jars of candy-mints, m&ms, licorice..that sort of thing

What do you think? What would you add?

Also, we're expecting around 120 folks. Do you think as in quantity that 200 cupcakes, 6 pound cakes (cut up), 6 key lime pies, etc is ok for that number of people?

Thnak you!
OOps, we're also having a cookie tray with a variety of cookies!
the truffles for my BMs will not be the same at all.
flakes: i want a lot of variety, not just cake and candy. i know it does seem like a lot but i would rather have too much than too little.
 
I think it all sounds good, but it sounds like too much food. I don't think you need that many cupcakes, because you should assume that most people aren't going to eat both cake and cupcake, or both cake and pie. There will be a few people who help themselves to more than one dessert, but for the most part people are pretty modest in their dessert intake.

I would personally stick with the wedding cake and a couple cookie trays, or wedding cake and the jars of candy...you get the idea.
 
cheescake can be cut up to little cubes
what about some shaved ice- that would be fun (I want that)
more candy maybe... that go with your colors... Lollipops?
do u have any sugar free ideas??

and i read ur other question about b/m gifts... if you are already gonna have truffles, then maybe you can make them something else?

I agree, I would definitely add a chocolate fountain to go with that fruit tray, making the buffet a little more interactive. You could add some cookies too, something people could just pick up and eat with their hands.
