Dessert Party  Back to Events

Put a sweet spin on the usual festivities by making desserts the center of attention. A spread of contrasting and complementary flavors, textures, shapes and sizes can make a party more than just desserts.

Whether you whip up a crème brûlée from scratch or bake brownies from a mix, an eye-catching display of desserts creates instant elegance. To ease party prep, look to your neighborhood Publix Bakery for a selection of scrumptious sweets that will add a 'wow' factor to any spread. 

As with any party, there should be something for everyone. Serve lighter sweets such as fruit to balance the rich desserts, and offer a few low-fat or sugar-free items for guests who may be counting calories or have special dietary needs.

Because you won't be serving a traditional meal, keep in mind these dessert party suggestions. And make sure you have beverages to complement your sweet treats. Offer a selection of hot and cold beverages and check out our suggestions for dessert wines.

Menu Made Easy 

Here's where we've figured out courses and servings for the party. Scroll down to see the Publix selections we suggest, then add appropriate sizes and/or quantities to your Planning List based on the estimated servings per course (see chart). If you're interested in other options, you may click View All to see everything else available by course. Or, you can use our Plan a Menu tool to build your own menu for the event.

The recommended servings are meant as a guide and not an exact calculator. Please consider that many factors may require you to make adjustments: the mix of adults and children, time of day, length of event, etc.
