sweet tooth

I think I want (no I need) to have to a Dessert Bar at our Wedding.

I haven't mentioned this to Chris yet, but I know that he will have no argument on this subject because he loves all types of dessert. He does not discriminate. The more sugar, the better to him. Because of this we agreed that he would pick the flavor of the cake when we first started planning since he is such a Sweet Treat Connoisseur. Lookout, we may have a cake encrusted with sugar cubes along with maple syrup as the filling.

Anywhoo back to the dessert table...

I am suddenly obsessed with a Dessert Bar because we originally wanted to have a Candy Bar and decided that it wouldn't be very practical.

Reasons why it is a BAD idea to have a Candy Bar:

a) if I was at a wedding I would be too shy to go up to a candy bar and fill doggie bag up

b) candy is ridiculously expensive, even in bulk

c) we didn't really want 45 candy cracked out children running wild at our reception

       1. candy crack addicted children will ultimately spill candy on ground creating safety hazard and we DO NOT want a guest doing the funky chicken on the dance floor to slip and break their neck over spilt goobers

Reasons why it is a FANTABULOUS idea to have a Dessert Bar:

a) pretty much ALL of the women in my family HAVE to have something sweet after each savory meal. Even if it's just a bite. (OK, OK- me, my mom, and nana is all I know for sure- but I am trying to build my case here people)

b) everyone likes a little variety, duh

c) we can have sweets from our childhood that we loved then and still love now (Grandma Morphis' Cake Brownies/Nana's Pecan Pie minus the pecans, just the gooey center)

d) who needs more reasons? I vote yes- isn't that a majority vote? 

So- here is what I propose to serve on the dessert menu (I still need to get Chris' suggestions):

• Strawberry Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing
• Mini Pecan Pies
• Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Peanut Butter filling
• Sugar Cookies (plain but oh-so-good)
• Mini Apple Pies
• Chocolate Chip Cookies
• Reese's PB Cup Cookies (Nana's Recipe)
• Mini Cherry Pies
• Pie Pops

As you can see there a few different varieties of pie so this list will probably change at least 25x before the day actually rolls around so don't be too disappointed if you the item you really want is not laying on the table waiting for you to devour it. Just fair warning. 

What would you like to munch on off of the Dessert Bar? I'd love suggestions.
