Do you have a sweet tooth? When dining out do you glance over the main courses and head for the dessert menu before returning to make your menu choices?

Devon caterers

We are outside caterers that do not give menu A,B or C we like to offer some menu ideas and then let you decide what foods you want to serve at your corporate event, wedding or party. All out dishes are cooked and prepared from scratch and we like a challenge, hence where the dessert sharing platters originated from.

Back in 2014, a couple that were getting married came to ask us to caterer for their wedding. They had ideas of exactly what they wanted the menu to be. The first courses were relatively straight forward but then came dessert! Both, the bride and the groom had extremely sweet tooth’s and wanted to share their love for puddings with all their guests.

They talked about a trio of small desserts but inevitable there is always a dessert served that a guest does not like and if you are at a corporate event and do not know the other guests on your table you probably would not offer the square of cheesecake left on your plate to another guest.

After a discussion of their idea desserts, the sharing platter was born… Four small desserts which would be placed in the centre of the guests tables for them to help themselves. This way if you are a chocoholic you can have 2/3 chocolate bits and leave the cheesecake that you are not so fond of!

The decision of what to have… A pot of crème brulee the brides favourite, a gooey chocolate brownie, the grooms favourite. Now the remaining two desserts to make up four, something light and fruity for the smaller eaters, a pavlova that looks great with fruit on and finally something made from lemon to cut through the sweetness, a lemon cheesecake or a lemon tart.
