Dessert Party ?'s

[Arich01]

Hi! So we've been able to add an Illuminations Dessert Party to our wedding day, yay! I was wondering if anyone could share what menu items you had if you've done a dessert party (or have it booked) and maybe pricing? I understand that you don't have to stick with the exact menus that Disney gives you, is that correct? Thanks for the help!

Right, you can customize it any way you like. We didn't know that for our wedding, so we stuck with their cheapest menu of cookies and brownies and were pretty underwhelmed, except for the chocolate peanut butter marshmallow squares (which became one of my all-time favorite Disney desserts!). Of the multiple dessert parties I've been to since then, I've found the best menu items are re-creations of treats found in the various theme parks, like Norway's school bread or carrot cake cookies from the Writer's Stop in DCA. And you can't go wrong with Mickey premium ice cream bars!

They wouldn't do the Mickey bars BOC for me, but we're having:

Chocolate marshmallow peanut butter squares
Fancy French Macarons in assorted flavors
Warm apple crumble with warm vanilla sauce
Norway school bread
Sticky toffee pudding (which you can be I'll be dumping more warm vanilla sauce on)
And individual mini-pies in various flavors, including peach, blueberry, strawberry rhubarb and coconut custard)

I THINK that's it. I can't wait to eat all of it!!

We had our wedding last month. At the dessert party we served cake, novelty ice creams, and cheesecake bites. We really wanted to do a Groom's cake and this was the best option for us. The cake was amazing! It looked like Scrooge McDuck's top hat and a moneybag. It was German chocolate and was delicious. We also served a selection of ice creams which included Mickey Premium bars, Mickey ice cream sandwiches, and fruit bars. We included some sugar-free fruit bars because my in-laws are diabetic. The cheesecake bites were also primarily for my in-laws. We served both sugar-free and regular cheesecake. There was so much food it was ridiculous! We were begging people to take leftovers with them. As for beverages, we served BOC soft drinks, iced tea and water.

We did not have any problems getting our requests. If anything, the biggest problem we had was figuring out what sugar-free options were feasible. They kind of asked us to figure it out rather than giving us a selection of things they can make sugar-free.

I'm sorry there are no pictures but we haven't received them yet! I'll try to post some in a few weeks.

I second the marshmallow squares-they were the best dessert I've ever had in WDW!! We went with a modified version of the Marceline Dessert Buffet....
-Marshmallow squares
-Tie dyed cupcakes
-Assorted cookies
-Chocolate eclairs
-Triple chocolate trifle

We paid $24 per guest.

Thanks for sharing your menus with me! I definitely have to have the chocolate peanut butter crispy treats- regular rice krispy treats are my fave Keep the ideas coming, I really enjoy the ideas. Also, if anyone has a link to other DP menus that would be great! I seem to remember a big thread regarding this before but can't locate it.

Is there a list of all the choices for dessert party somewhere?

When I said I was having a dessert party, they sent me sample menus, however I'm not having anything from the sample menus except Mickey rice crispy treats (forgot to mention those above). They'll really make whatever desserts your heart desires- or, if you say desserts you like, they'll come up with something for them. I said my mom liked pie, so it was their idea to make the mini pies in tons of different flavors.
