Recommended Party Sweets, Cakes and Chocolates
Sweets are expected at any type of party. Cakes and pies are favorites at these types of gatherings but don’t have to be the only party sweets you conjure up.
Homemade Sweets: bked goods are always appreciated. They give you, the hostess, the opportunity to show off your culinary skills, too. Cookies, tarts, brownies and other delicious sweet treats can go a long way to satisfying your guests’ sweet tooth. This presupposes you have both the time and inclination to do the baking prior to your party.
Candies: Homemade hard sweets (candies) or chocolates are a delicacy as very few people have the time to prepare such delectable goodies. You can still impress your guest by setting out small bowls filled with various types of candies. Use a variety of candies as there will invariably be a few at the party who disdain chocolate or can’t eat hard candies.
Mints: mints come in a variety of styles and sizes. Once used primarily as breath fresheners and served after meals, these sugary confectionaries are popular anytime. After dinner mints, in their popular pastel colors, simply melt in the mouth. Peppermints are a colorful treat that also add a decorative flair to a holiday gathering.
Party Favor Sweets: Many parties end with a gift from the host, a bag of sweet treats. This can be a variety of sweets or a single item such as a larger chocolate bar. In some cases, you can order your sweets in personalized wrappers to commemorate the occasion.
Sweets are an accent to your party and should not overwhelm your menu. Remember to balance your offerings with some other taste sensations.
