If you’re catering for a large crowd, you’ll need some ideas about what to put on the menu. You’ll want to provide a bit of variety, but as a host you’ll have plenty of other things to think about as well. Here are some easy and convenient ideas about desserts which can be used for catering en masse:
1. Chocolate brownies. You won’t need to serve them in large portions because they’re so rich, and if you choose to make them yourself, they can be easily baked in large batches.
2. Chocolate sheet cake. It’s easy to make, and you pour the frosting over whilst the cake is still warm, so there’s no labour-intensive icing process which is required with other cake recipes.
3. Cheeseboard. Even a small cheeseboard will feed a lot of people.
4. Tiramisu. This is an easy dessert to assemble for as many people as required. Use ready-made sponge fingers for convenience.
5. Cupcakes. They’re extremely fashionable in the culinary world, and are often used at events as a modern take on a traditional cake. They’re an easy choice because they’re individual, so you can provide them in any quantity you need.
6. Flapjack. Simple yet effective, it can be baked in bulk and dressed up with nuts, berries and fruit if you want something a little more elaborate.
