Sweet Endings: Desserts That Leave a Lasting Impression

Every event deserves a sweet finish that’s memorable, approachable and maybe even a little unexpected. For planners looking to delight guests, our dessert menu brings a cozy rustic vibe as well as bold, globally inspired treats.

Fruit-Forward & Fresh

Rustic, scratch-made fruit pies and seasonal berries set a nostalgic tone. Think the traditional 9″ pies, miniature galettes or bowls of seasonal fruit—perfect for outdoor settings or indoor spreads with natural, homespun charm.

MENA-Inspired Sweets Take the Stage

Add intrigue with desserts inspired by the vibrant flavors of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA):

  • Shirpera (GF): Soft Afghani milk fudge with floral, nutty notes—sophisticated yet inviting
    Naan e Badami: A chewy almond cookie, like a snickerdoodle kissed with cardamom
    Semsmieh (GF): Sesame brittle that adds crisp texture and a hint of nostalgia
    Basbousa: Moist semolina cake infused with rosewater, lemon and honey—a crowd favorite

You can also offer guests a curated plate with all four of these sweets, paired with Sheer Chai, a cardamom-laced milk tea. It’s aromatic, comforting and a delightful change of pace from the usual coffee station.

Perennial Favorites: Anything But Ordinary

Not to be overlooked, our dessert menu includes familiar crowd favorites: sheet cakes in five varieties – including french apple bourbon with cinnamon cream frosting – assorted cookies, cheese cakes and decadent dessert bars.

Just to balance out a little of the sweetness, pair your dessert bar with a gourmet coffee set up, complete with assorted creamers, cocoa and whipped cream.

Whether you’re organizing a nonprofit gala or a backyard birthday, we have desserts from traditional to refreshingly different that will leave a lasting impression.
