Sweet catering for weddings and events: cakes, macarons and artisan desserts

Sweet catering goes beyond the wedding cake: it includes dessert tables, personalised cakes, macarons, cake pops, mini pastries, truffles, brownies and a wide variety of artisan treats that become one of the most memorable moments of the celebration. Sweet catering professionals design, create and present desserts tailored to the style, colour palette and theme of your event.

What's included

Sweet catering typically includes artisan preparation of all desserts, transport and setup at the event venue, decorated presentation with flowers, themed elements or brand colours, service plates and cutlery, and pack-down and cleaning at the end. Some professionals also offer cake cutting and plating service during the event, or personalised boxes for guests to take desserts home. Always ask what is included in the price and whether there are supplements for special flavours or specific diets.

Frequently asked questions

How far in advance should sweet catering be ordered for a wedding?

For weddings it is recommended to book sweet catering at least 3 to 4 months ahead, especially if a personalised cake with an elaborate design is required. Personalisation requires design time, flavour tastings and adjustments. For smaller events, 4 to 6 weeks in advance is usually sufficient.

Can desserts be made gluten-free, lactose-free or vegan?

Yes. Many patisseries and sweet caterers offer options adapted to intolerances and special diets. It is important to communicate this from the first contact so that the professional can guarantee the absence of cross-contamination and the use of certified ingredients.

How is the wedding cake transported to prevent damage?

Professionals use specialist transport boxes, non-slip surfaces and, in hot weather, refrigerated vehicles to ensure the cake arrives in perfect condition. The cake is delivered and assembled directly at the event venue, generally 1 to 2 hours before the cutting moment.

What is the difference between a candy bar and sweet catering?

A candy bar focuses on sweets, candies and small bite-size treats displayed for grazing. Sweet catering covers artisan patisserie desserts: cakes, macarons, cake pops, truffles and mousses, with a higher level of craftsmanship and presentation. Many professionals offer both services combined or separately depending on the event's needs.
