I'm throwing my DP a surprise birthday party fairly soon, we're having a hog roast for the normal food and I want to add a dessert table for later on. There will be a chocolate birthday cake, a few vanilla and carrot cupcakes but I want to add a few different things so what would your favourite dessert be at a party?

Cheesecake, a proper baked one with fresh fruit on top.

A lemon tart or a banoffee pie

And a fruit salad I suppose, to cancel it out. Grin

Nothing helpful to add. Just wanted to say I'm starving now Grin

A great big old-fashioned trifle like your Nan used to make. Everyone will roll their eyes and say how dated it is.. but I bet there won't be a scrap left!

Also profiteroles.

Apple tarts on puff pastry.

MsMightyTitanAndHerTroubadours · 07/03/2019 10:24

I have a real problem deciding between creme caramel and creme brulee

something lemony is always an option too...lemon tart, or lemon meringue

I don't often have cheesecake out as it's never right...I like it airy and whippy, or also heavy and dense, but it's spoiled if the wrong type appears.

baubled · 07/03/2019 11:16

Ooh thanks everyone, lots of votes for a lemon tart so I'll definitely put that on the list (aswell as everything else Grin)

A cheeseboard.

I hate sweet puddings

Meet0nTheledge · 07/03/2019 11:52

Profiteroles is another good call.

JenMumma · 07/03/2019 12:16

A profiterole pyramid and a huge cheese board with grapes ❤️

GabrielleNelson · 07/03/2019 12:20

Big platter of fruit - you could get the more exotic fruits already cut into fingers/slices, e.g. mango, pineapple
Cheeseboard and crackers
Trifle
Apple or other fruit tart

Hope it goes well!
