And now for Desserts

Desserts are the perfect way to end the wedding reception. With so many types of sweet treats out there, we are really spoilt for choice. Think of all the souffles, cakes and pastries available in cafes and restaurants, all looking too good to be eaten. The presentation of the desserts are just as important as the food itself, setting the mood for the first bite into the sweetness. Having the desserts portioned into glasses and cups and shallow dishes make for an interesting look. Here are some pretty ideas to whet your appetite.

If having western desserts seem too much a diversion from a classic Chinese dinner reception, it's a great idea to have the Chinese dessert presented in individual servings. Think a shot glass filled with layered yam and pumpkin paste topped with a drizzle of coconut cream, a small jar loaded with glutinuous rice balls topped with red bean cream and a sprinkle of gingko nuts, or a whisky glass packed with deconstructed egg tart topped with birds' nest or fruits compote.
