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?

A big sherry trifle!

Raspberry Pavlova.

Coffee with a selection of posh, nutty biscuits.

I'm so glad people are saying profiteroles, they're my all time faves and can now go on the list Smile

Cake pops always look great on a dessert table as you can display them in decorative pots/ plant pots filled with sand/ tin foil/ floral foam to bring a bit of height and colour

I love an apple pie/ cherry pie.

Pavlova

Jelly!

I love lemon meringue pie but Nigella’s lemon meringue cake is just as good and much easier to make! www.nigella.com/recipes/lemon-meringue-cake

A peach and strawberry fruit salad would be very refreshing after a hog roast.

Eton mess
Creme brûlée
Lemon mousse
Baked cheesecake (like the one they used to sell in M&S when I was a kid)

Bit off topic but my husband made a Victoria sponge with buttercream on Sunday it's been in the fridge. When will it be ok till?

@Loyaultemelie it's going to be hard to pick between everything!

Cheesecake- most flavours
Like the idea of the cheese board as well.

If having hot apple crumble and custard.

pavlova is a great party pud something like raspberries filling

CakeNinja · 07/03/2019 19:55

Tiramisu for me please!

thesnailandthewhale · 07/03/2019 21:50

Kebabs - strawberries, pineapple, mango, grapes, marshmallows

All my favourite options have been suggested so I've nothing further to add. So I will ask if you've got a vegetarian main course option as you've got a hog roast for the carnivores.

baubled · 08/03/2019 06:05

@Moorfields yes of course! Not expecting vegetarians to eat a hog roast.
