Tasty Trends: Mini Desserts Are All the Rave at Nashville Weddings
Tuesday, October 30, 2012
Mini desserts have been very popular in weddings and Nashville brides and grooms are loving this tasty trend too. What I love about mini desserts at weddings is that I can sample several great desserts without feeling guilty because they are enough to enjoy but not too much to overeat or feel like I'm wasting!
I chatted with Sarah of Chef's Market (a Nashville company known for their fabulous food and desserts) to learn a bit about mini desserts and how couples are using them to add fun and deliciousness to their Nashville weddings.

How do couples incorporate mini desserts into their wedding reception? Many couples either choose to do a mini dessert station or a stand alone mini dessert only; and most couples offer mini desserts in addition to their bridal cake.
What's the appeal of mini desserts? Why do couples go this route? Couples like variety. If they are offering guests a full meal, it allows them to save room for cake and dessert because everything is smaller. Some couples want something fun to add for their guests' experience. They are not only appealing because they have fewer calories, but because they are compact and they are easy to eat.
Do couples usually have a groom's cake and mini desserts? Some couple do decide to replace the groom's cake with mini desserts. A recent groom replaced his groom's cake for a bite-size truffle. It was a great complement to the bridal cake.
What are some of the mini desserts that have been popular with your engaged couples? Dessert shots, truffles, mint chocolate mousse shots, white chocolate banana pudding.
Awwww - I absolutely LOVE your banana pudding but I think I'll stick with an extra large portion!
