Summer, mid-day reception, desert buffet.

I know I want cheesecake, but the rest is wide open..

What should we put on our desert buffet? We're expecting around 100 guests.

Thnaks!

A variety of cookies is always good.

Summer, mid-day desserts should be light.

* Fruit display - pick seasonal fruits and put out with bowls of fresh whipped cream
* Cheesecake - that's what you want
* Parfaits
* Cookie platters - these are great because you can serve a variety and it's easy and affordable
* Cannolis
* Ice cream - if it's possible for you
* Petit Fours
* Seasonal pies
* Cake - strawberry shortcakes, chocolate, etc...
* Cupcakes - a great alternative to cakes since it requires no cutting and guests can easily pick them up and walk around
* Sorbet - again, if it's possible it's a nice refreshing dessert
* Napleons
 
I had a dessert buffet at my wedding, and it turns out that people like PIE. No kidding. I think I had a blueberry and a lemon meringue. I'd add apple and chocolate, too, for a bigger group.
 
- make your own ice cream sundae bar
- fresh fruit
- smoothie bar
- coffee/espresso bar
- sorbet
- italian ice
- make your own shortcake bar (lady fingers, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, fresh whipped cream)
- assort cakes (German chocolate, strawberry shortcake, pound cake, lemon chiffon cake, etc)
- fruit pies
- other pies (chocolate, pecan, etc)
- cookies (sugar, chocolate chip, macadamia, etc)
- bars/brownies (lemon, mint stick, fudge, Tollhouse, etc)
- mini eclairs
- mini fruit tartes
- chocolate shells with fresh fruit or mousse
- chocolate covered pretzels
- chocolate fondue and sweet bread for dipping
- bread pudding with whiskey sauce
- brownie pudding

You have limitless options, these are only a few suggestions. Enjoy!
 
Carrot Cake. My nephew had a dessert buffet at his wedding and that was popular, especially with me. And cupcakes too as was mentioned.

Fresh fruit cut up should please the health-conscious crowd.
