Year-end gatherings come in many sizes.
A dessert plan for two people should not look the same as one for a family or a larger celebration.
1. For two: keep it simple
An easy combination is:
1 dessert + 2 drinks
If you want more of a celebration feel, choose a small whole cake instead.
The goal is to have enough without ordering just for appearance.
2. For family sharing: think about different ages
Family gatherings often include:
- children
- younger adults
- older family members
A balanced combination is:
small cake + fruit box + drinks
It gives everyone something easy to enjoy.
3. For larger celebrations: let the cake be the centerpiece
For bigger groups, consider:
whole cake + dessert platter + cold drinks
The cake brings the celebration moment, while the other desserts give guests more choice.
4. In warm weather, keep chilled items cold
Fresh cream cakes, dairy desserts and cut fruit should not sit out in Manila’s heat longer than necessary.
Keep them chilled until closer to serving time.
FAQ: What works for around 10 people?
If there is a full meal:
- an 8–10 inch cake
- one fruit or dessert item
- drinks for the group
is often enough.
If desserts are the main focus, add a dessert platter.
