Video protip: turn off your auto focus and manually set the focal field to stop the the video from going out of focus when you have a guest. Your camera keeps wanting to automatically focus on the center of the image but is confused by the movement on the sides. *coughISwearI'mNotBeingBossyI'mTryingToHelp*
Finally watching your channel as AN ENGAGED WOMAN!! Love this video!
Congrats!
Congratulations!!!
That’s me now!!
I can tell you that all I heard was how good the dessert table was!! That footage was my wedding! Thanks Amy!! Even though I didn’t get to have any the day of (besides the cutting cake, which was so good!) Def recommend Twin treats! I’m said I didn’t get to say hi!!😝
I’m not sure where to recommend a topic for a video so I guess I’ll do it here. Can you PLEASE do a video about budget friendly rehearsal dinners or just rehearsal dinners in general! Thank you ❤️ Love these videos!!!
This! We are at least another year out for our wedding so I am doing as much research and planning as possible.
Pittsburgh Cookie Table! That’s what my fiancé and I are doing! He’s a Pittsburgh native and his family is crazzzzzzzyyy about this cookie table made by the grandmas!
The dessert table at our wedding was the BEST idea we had! So much fun and everyone was pleased! We did our cake and then cookies from Costco and laffy taffy, jolly ranchers, sour watermelon, sour gummy worms, and hi chews, swedish fish, and mini kit kats and mini recess.So much fun! We also WAITED to set up the dessert table until after the ceremony and during dinner.
I’ve had family members complain about my prices saying “Costco sells the same thing for 1/5th the price.” if they saw the cost of the ingredients I use and the time and care I put in, they would know it’s not the “same thing”
I would neverrrr serve something at an event especially my wedding from Costco!!!
People say the same to me when I let them know a price for a website. "Oh, but squarespace does it for only 100$"
Then go on squarespace!
@@iluvzurara2 costco cakes are 1000x better than any wedding cake I've ever had
@@Allicatxo13 I have heard that from a few folks..,
When I get married, I'm definitely having a dessert table, I think it's the best idea/option, although I never thought of having the mini cupcakes so, thank you for that.
This video DID convince me to go for a dessert table. I'm having a smaller wedding of only 30 people and there's 4 diabetics and I don't need a massive cake. This is a great solution, really pretty, and there's a local bakery/ice cream shop that makes crazy whoopie-pies and homemade dingdongs.
Music to my ears!!! I’m doing a dessert table. My wedding is this weekend. 3 options: chocolate whoopie pies, cookie butter flavored small wedding cake and a cookie cake stack with layers of frosting!!!!!
Excellent tips. Thank you. Adding some sugar free options for my diabetic friends.
My god this video could not have come at a better time!! My brother asked my cousin and I (the bakers of the family) to do the dessert table for his wedding.. and it's in less than 3 weeks! I NEEDED this!!!!
Good luck! :)
This was super helpful... I'm not even engaged(but I have trouble making decisions, so starting early seems best), but I had been debating a dessert table. A lot of the venues around here seem to have something about only having what the venue makes there and I didn't know if I wanted to be limited just to be at my "dream" venue. Now I'm sure. I don't want to be limited, desserts galore please!
I was gonna comment it last time and I'm not sure if you did that on purpose but the deer antlers, the clock and the W looks like it says VOW, which is so cool for your channel ❤️
And about the desert table... I am a huge dessert person so I was sure from the start that I'm gonna have both the cake and mini desserts. It's also super traditional in Poland to have a plethora of sweeties to choose from and I intend to honor that tradition.
Great video as always ❤️
This has seriously helped so much! I love the idea of a traditional wedding cake but I really don't eat that much cake.. So my fiance and I have decided on cookies, cupcakes, chocolate fountain with fruits (provided by our venue) and a small two tier cake so we can still save the top for our anniversary!
Definitely a desert table after many years of seeing cakes thrown out... your channel just validated it thank you.
Really love this idea of a dessert table. And still have the traditional cake just go smaller... Instead of a 3 tier...
The first „niche“ was perfectly pronounced 😍
HAVE YOU BEEN READING MY MIND JAMIE !?!! I’m so beyond excited to watch this video , I haven’t been able to find any good videos on TH-cam
Thanks for the awesome collab ❤️❤️
I've been so on the fence with this! I love all sweets, cake, cookies, brownies...you name it! I think you both def convinced me that a variety is the way to go!!
Hi Jamie! I’ve been watching all of your videos since I got engaged. I’m having a problem with my mom being ridiculously overbearing and negative about what I want. Could you make a video talking about how to deal with parents of the bride/groom. Thankfully my FHs family is amazing and I get along wonderfully with his parents.
Set healthy boundaries!
Being the mob I can say I'm so excited but dialed way back . This allows her to make decisions and deligate to me as much as she likes.
Your Mom is most likely really excited.
I’m convinced to have dessert table! I like the idea of the small cake for the newlyweds and then a variety for the rest of the party with dietary options too!
THANK YOU! I’m working on designing my dessert table now and this totally helped! I love those mini platters! 😍
For our wedding, my fiancé and I were thinking about having paper boxes so that ppl can take dessert to go! My cousin did this at her baby shower and it was sooo smart and cute. Also doubles as favors!
Did you end up doing that? Were people respectful about it?
@@lei9330 in Poland everyone does it. When you are ready to leave, you look for the married couple to say goodbye and they won't let you leave without the box. It's quite often that during the wedding people are not that hungry or just full of other food so getting a couple pieces of different cakes per person to take home and enjoy the next day is a nice practice.
@@msoiia that’s pretty interesting and fun, thank you for your input
Oh man this was useful. I'm a sweets person but my fiance isn't so we haven't put much thought into the sweets table but now I'm so excited for it.
Your channel has helped me so much! I'm getting married in March and you have helped me decide on so many different things for my wedding! Thank you!
We are doing a small cake and a few bite-sized desserts. The reception is being held at our favorite restaurant, and their amazing pastry chef has come up with the perfect variety of desserts for us. This video really helped me figure out how we should style and arrange the table!
My fiance and I are getting just cupcakes from The Flying Cupcake. I love the idea of a dessert table (and I think it would work better for those guests who are gluten-free, don't like super sweet like I do, etc), but he fell in love with the idea of cupcakes instead of a cake. However, we're matching our cupcakes with our superhero theme. So I'm happy and content; kudos to any and all living the dessert table life!
Yes Dessert Table!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I've told everyone one of my must haves is a dessert table and they look at me like I'm crazy. But I love them so much!
Go for it, girl! Have what you want, it's your day. 😊 I want both. I'll have a dessert table for my bridal shower and a large semi naked cake with real flowers for our wedding. 😍 What kind of sweets do you want for your dessert table?
I have been waiting for someone to do this kind of a video - thank you Jamie!! :D And thank you to your cousin for her tips!! She's adorable!
Thank you for this! We just started planning our desert table just yesterday! We had way to many options to start with. No I know better. Thank you so much
Thanks Jamie, love your channel! We are getting married in Bar Harbor, Maine this Saturday (!!) with the backyard tent for ~70 people and the foliage is going to be great! My aunts and cousins are doing a potluck dessert table with pies, cookies, brownies, Rice krispie treats, etc. We will have the traditional apple, pumpkin, etc fall pies but also peanut butter pie for my fiance, it's his favorite!
I love this. Have seen a few of your videos now and will incorporate some of your ideas for the bridal shower but will start sharing to my sister who is getting married in August.
I'm helping plan my best friend's wedding (it's in a month !!) and I'm using all these tips for sureee
This is super helpful! We're bringing the "Pittsburgh Cookie Table" tradition down to Florida, so planning the dessert table without really knowing the specifics of ANYTHING (other than the 3 regular sized cakes) has been a trip. Thanks for this video!
Yes the cookie table! Always featured the ladies in the family best of the best cookies. 👍
Omg Amy! This video makes me super for the desert table you will be making for my wedding! 😀
This is awesome! We were going to do a cake and a candy bar but this would be sooo amazing. Thanks!
I think sometimes when there's both cupcakes and cakes, the reason there's still cup cakes on the table is cause they want the wedding cake. Why have a cup cake when you can have a piece of the wedding cake? I think in the cases where you have both the wedding cake and cupcakes, those who are eating both REALLY love cake.
"Call me, beep me, if you wanna reach me." Love it.
I’m doing a treat table for my daughter’s baby shower. Thank you for great tips!!!
The video keeps focusing on the wall behind you. And I love it. It's so beautiful. I want to do that for my living room.
Love this!!! I want cheesecake for myself and hubby. Everyone can fight for the other things
THANK YOU! My daughter and I were thinking "jumbo" cookies/brownies and regular cupcakes, but BITE-SIZED makes so much more sense! YES! People ARE going to want to try a little of everything! Also, thinking along the lines of portions (3 bite-sized pieces per person as opposed to 1 jumbo dessert person) creates a more generous looking dessert table!
This is super helpful. I love love dessert so I always knew I wanted to a dessert table so I would get variety. My fiancé also isn’t much of a cake person so that’s also why I want to
Really glad for this cause I've been thinking about a dessert table.
Gotta have both!!! In the UK we tend to have the cake for cutting but a desert table for eating.. A bit weird I know but in our family weddings the cake gets sent out the day after the wedding so it packaged in its own little cake boxes which is a really lovely little present too xxx
I am so excited to see more content from you! I have been binging almost all of your videos the last couple weeks lol. You are such a delightful person! Really wish you lived in Canada! I am a second-time bride and I have so many video requests it's not even funny. I would love to know your take on how to involve children in a wedding, not my own. Which is, I feel, even more of a challenge when it comes to telling them what to do LOL!! I didn't have children in my first wedding in terms of standing up in the wedding party, but this time my fiance has some nieces and nephews that we'd like to include. We're going to have four children in the wedding all under the age of 10! Help us!
Not engaged/planning yet because of the parabola, BUT my partner and I don't love cake. This video is giving us so much more confidence to go with a pie dessert table with other small options!
I love the idea of a dessert table because I have some many dietary restrictions in my family
The fact that I’m watching this in October, and there are pumpkin whoopie pies
Well she's definitely the calm one hahahaaaa!! Beautiful work ladies! And i called y'all being related immediately!
If you're serving cake (or another 'main' dessert) in addition to a dessert table, should that be included in the 3-5 option number? We are serving ice cream but would like some cookies, brownies etc in addition.
Also if you want to help with dietary concerns, please don't forget dairy free or vegan! Soo many weddings where I can't eat the delicious dessert because I'm allergic to milk and most desserts have milk. Even a mixed berry option is much appreciated! We are getting our ice cream from our favorite local place who makes their own vegan ice cream that is so good and we are very excited! We're not big cake people.
Now I want this idea of mini banana pudding included in my dessert table - I love banana pudding!!! Those little cups were so cute.
I love that all of the vendors you do videos with are literally based in North County! ❤️
Dessert tables (we call then candy bars) have been a staple at weddings in my country for years. Traditionally, we used to put desserts on each table, just sitting there for the entire night, but lately people have been doing dessert tables in order to declutter the actual tables. Of course, this does not replace the cake, because you cannot have a wedding without cake and why would you anyways. But we go a lot bigger than what you guys have done in this video, 5 options is not enough for us here. You have to have a lot of options and a lot of desserts to please us. They will always be devoured. And yes, we will always eat the cake too, it's the most expected course of the evening.
Hi Jamie! This video was hugely helpful and the timing was perfect as we are planning our daughters dessert table!!! Loved the advice!!!
Hey! This is completely off topic and I apologize because I don't know how else to contact you....
Could you please do a video all about selecting a wedding deejay? What to ask, how to tell a good deejay from a bad deejay.
I think the deejay can greatly enhance or greatly detract. Please please educate us about what we should know when selecting??? ( Again, sorry for tacking this onto your dessert video!)
Love the Kim possible references 😂
Great ideas! I feel better equipped to diy my dessert table. Also, you can totally tell my your mannerisms that you're related. Cute video!
Marcela Rios I have a whole video on diy dessert table! Hopefully it might help (:

Hey Jamie! I think a cool video to do (if you have tips and tricks about this) is how to handle your moms at the wedding and with wedding planning. My fiancé and I just got engaged and don’t plan to get married for about 3 years. And while we already have a date place and aesthetic in mind, his mom is already getting stuff for it. I’m also having issues finding my mom a dress (she’s plus size).
I have decided to do a desert table and we will be doing sugar free and regular treats to choose from me and my fiance are diabetic I love watching your channel so helpful for this DIY bride your a lifesaver
I love your videos! You are awesome Jaime 😍❤ thank you!!!!
Love your energy, ladies. Great information thank you so much for all the helpful advice. I’m making a dessert table for my cousin, first time making a dessert table.😅. I’m a baker but never have I Catered for 100 people😬🤞Wish me luck. But all that you mention is life saving tips, Thank you!🙏
Just added your cousin's website to my home page, definitely will be checking her out.
Yes, it convinced me to have a dessert table. Lol. Without cupcakes because I want a main cake!
A dessert table is one of the first things my fiance and I agreed was a must!
Yessss I've been scavenging the internet to find SOMETHING on dessert tables. Finally
What are your thoughts about pie? Slices of pie sliced by a waiter? Mini pies?
nicoledc1193 as someone who loves pies especially pumpkin pies I say small personal pies are a great idea especially in the fall.
If you're on a budget, Walmart has .50c mini pies that's are really good!
if you rolled out a large sheet of pie crust and just cut a bunch of circles and filled it with different pie fillings and you could even do the top crust in a beautiful decoration or lattice work they would be adorable!!!
I'd suggest the lattice work with little pie crust flowers or even your initials you can also use cookie cutters to cut out designs in your pie Crust they even have bride and groom cookie cutters ect that you could use to put design's into your pie crust
I think mini pies or like hand pies would be super cute🙃 also the mini Walmart pies are actually really good, I like the pecan
Fabulous dessert tables. It looks so tasty.
I'm probably getting married next summer (I'm in that 'we've talked about it and know we're getting married and he just has to pop the question' boat) and I'm a budget bride, so your channel has been SUCH a calming port in the storm of stress. I'm also working full time still and it's just been a lot. I'm also gluten free and dairy free and nut free and I don't like cake so I was curious what you'd recommend.
Jamie you're such a delight
If you’re having a dessert table but still want a cake to cut & save the top for our 1st anniversary, how small of a cake can I get away with?
My fiance and I are definitely leaning more dessert table. Neither of us are big cake people but we do enjoy sweets.
Thx.. vey helpful .. btw. I wish I still had half your energy! ☺️
Love your design, setup , color
Can you do a video on what questions to ask your baker when picking someone for cake/dessert table?
Some questions - When you have 150 people do you display ALL of the baked goods on the table or restock? How do you prevent bugs or flies if you are having an outside wedding? How do you keep folks from eating the desserts too early?
Omg such a great help
Love this! I used to work for Crumbs and Doilies (the best cupcake company in London - not biased at all :p) AND I'm thinking about having them do a dessert table at my wedding next year. My question to you Jamie is: How do you make it a seamless/no hassle process for guests to go up and choose their desserts after the main meal without loosing focus for the speeches etc? XXX
P.S: I'm loving all your videos and saving lots of tips for my wedding next year - so thanks! :D xxx
This was so good! Great tips :)
Thank you so much this helps me for so much
Hello fellow brides! Just looking to gain some input on a little trend known as "the donut wall". This is something I think looks super cute and have highly considered for my wedding this August. However I have heard a couple people say they wouldn't eat a donut off a donut wall for sanitary reasons.
Wondering what people think? Obviously we wouldn't set up a dirty donut wall, but would it still bother you?
Also, should we go with a donut wall, would it be expected to still have other desserts? Our dinner is 3 salad options and a buffet of 6 different wood fire oven pizzas. Personally I would only need one donut after a pizza buffet but I'm open to hear other opinions.
Would you be satisfied with this?
Just married a week ago and still watching your videos! ;)
We did a dessert table and she's totally right about the various flavors and heights! I'm a total chocolate fiend so we had a few items with chocolate (but only one super dense chocolate). My favorites were the cookie dough cheesecake bars & cinnamon peach hand pies, but some guests told me they liked the mini choc chip cookie sandwiches the best, and several others said the banana pudding. We had something for every tastebud and it worked out well! #TeamNoCake
I am in LOVE with fruit! Just love fresh fruit! What fresh fruit options are there????
I’m getting married in April and I’m DIYing my dessert table.My questions is timing? how do we set it up as far as timing? Thank you!
Would suggest anything for a themed dessert table. Our wedding we want the desserts tied to our honeymoon destination in Paris. Do you think this is a good idea or no so much?
Hello:)I just came across your channel:)I was wondering how would you decorat a graduation rustic dessert table,with only 3 opinions or 4 thx.
Loved this video! 💜
MOB here. Doing the cake and desert table. Carrot cake , Boston cream pie cupcakes, chocolate mini bunts, lemon bars and strawberry mini bunts with white chocolate gnash.
Could you do a video on photobooths and if you recommend DIY or pro booths?
So a beautiful wedding cake is sometimes one of the funner things to pick for your wedding BUT people just don’t care about cake. Best tip is to ask a baker to design your dream cake with styrofoam and fondant….much cheaper. Then you can cut a small cake for cake cutting but then serve people with a dessert table. Win win for all!
"You can't go to a professional baker and expect Costco prices" !!!!! 💯💯💯
BTW, this is SO helpful! Thanks, ladies!!
This comment is pretty late but this seems like the most relevant video so I'm hoping I get a better chance for an answer here.
I really want to have a bakery in the future, but I think more and more (mostly because of this channel) that I want to be part of the wedding industry and even do wedding dessert tables etc. I have no idea where to start. I've got a couple recipes that are stable enough to use (and honing down quite a few more), but it just seems to daunting to find a client and then continue to find clients when I don't have the ability to have a brick and mortar store. I know starting a business is one thing (and I'm slowly building my brand amongst friends/family and coworkers), but how do you even start getting into the wedding industry? My friends are either not married/not by me/already married so it isn't like I can start there.
Any advice is welcome! I want to make this my side hustle to start, and maybe even my full time in the future. And I'm patient enough to wait it out, but I don't want to not do something that'll help just because I don't know. I do plan on entering the North Carolina State Fair cake decorating competition in 2020 (with focus on the wedding category) in hopes that helps to gain some attention, but I feel like that isn't enough.
Can you do a video on what should be on your wedding website and how to design one? I know they’re becoming a more popular tool, but I don’t really understand what they are
Love your vids!! I'm recently engaged too!!! I'm wondering tho how can can I go about limiting the amount of deserts my guest can get without being rude or appearing cheap
Not related to this video, but I have been eating EVERYTHING on your channel these last few weeks and I am obsessed, thank you for everything you’re putting out! One thing I’m really struggling to find info on is second wedding etiquette or ways to include BOYS in your wedding. In my case I eloped when I was young and in the military and never had a wedding, my boyfriend has never been married, we have one son, and I have 2 sons from my previous marriage. I want creative ways to embolden them that isn’t sand art, and they aren’t girls so this whole proposing to them or giving them jewelry work for us either. I’d love to hear your experience with 2nd time brides!!
You've convinced me. I'm making a dessert table.
Kat Webster I have a video on my channel about a diy dessert table! It might help!! (:
Check it out m.th-cam.com/video/z9bmh3FSpts/w-d-xo.html
I actually liked when the camera went off of focus for a second because your wall looks freaking awesome lol
I’m doing a dessert table with a single tiered cake for display and save for our 1 year anniversary. We have options for different flavored mini cupcakes (among other things); so during the “cake cutting” portion of the reception, can my fiancé and I just feed each other a mini cupcake since we’re not actually cutting the cake?
Just one cake or that dessert table would be enough for maybe 40 people. Where I live, we usually have 250 - 300 guests at a venue, there is a big 3 tier cake, about 10 regular sized cakes and about 150 g of other cakes/cookies per person, there are usually 6 - 10 different types of those cookies. Most of it gets eaten. If there are no leftovers, it means there wasn't enough food. We make real cakes, not the buttercream heart attack ones.
Have u ever saw a Brazilian dessert table??? It’s the most amazing thing in the whole world, I swear!!!!
Oh my god! Thank you ✨🙏 im so lost trying to craft a menu to our wedding.... Even more im stressing out decorating the buffet table 😅😅😅😅 aaaaaaaaaaaa......!
