What desserts are you having?

You could serve your wedding cake if they'd let you? could save quite a bit of money too!

We're next July and we are pretty sure we're having salad to start, beef and turkey roast and then possibly a summer pudding, chocolate mousse cake cube or strawberry shortcake (we're trying five deserts at our tasting!). I think something light is best, and maybe a light mousse cake or a lemon tart or something like that? x

We gave our guests a choice on all courses and our two desserts were Eton Mess and White and dark chocolate semifredo. Both of which went down very well!!

We are having pavlova, which doesn't sound like it's good for you!

How about a mousse (lemon, passion fruit etc)? Or tiramisu?

I was going to Strawberries and Cream but I read your post so I can't now ? Why not a twist on this and serve mini strawberry pavlovas?

Doh... I hadn't seen the bit about not liking meringue! ?

Well we are having Summer fruit pudding for our desert, (might be more autum fruit as wedding is Oct 1st) but we thought it was puddingy enough for pudding but not to heavy after main course of eiether beef caserol and dumplings or roast beef and Yorkshire.

Other summery options

Pavola and seasonal fruit.

Home made ice cream and sorbets in brandy snap baskets

or what about a fancy jelly and ice cream combination. Where you have grown up jelly (Like an elderflower type jelly with loads of fruit in it 9like a fruit terraine(Sp) and lovely posh ice cream.

if you fancy something creamy what about a fruit mouse or syllabub or pann a cotte (Sp)

We are having posh jelly and ice cream, it's a bit of fun not filling but when made properly can be gorgeous

How about Sorbet? I tried a Mango and passionfruit + raspberry at a meal out recently and was gorg! and its low fat so wouldnt be too filling! x

How about a fruit tart or creme brule?

LuLu's sorbet idea sounds great - light and refreshing. We've been to a place where they serve orange or lemon sorbet inside a hollowed out orange or lemon, its lush!

I think we'll prob have profiteroles as its prob the only thing on the menu that everyyone will eat!

We're having sticky toffee pudding but getting married in november so want something a bit warming.....I'd go for summer pudding, or a french style apple tart, its much lighter than apple pie and is delicious.

We're having chocolate mousse. We have put soup to start with on the menu's but have just changed my mind and pinched flutterbye's idea to have canapes as the starter, chicken or salmon as the main, chocolate mousse to finish.

Saw another thread on here that came up with the idea of having scones with jam and cream for dessert. A brilliant idea that I wish I'd though of myself but can't change the menu completely. Or what about a trio of icecream with frozen berries? After roast beef and york puds it would make be a nice light ending to a biggish meal.

We shall be having our wedding cake as desert with fresh strawberries that have been dipped in white chocolate (goes with our theme too ? ) that you pick yourself from a tree ? x

Weve got a choice of Creme Brulee or Trio of chocolate mousse.

I would go for something moussey, but i also like the idea of a Strawberry Sundea type thing with ice cream and wafers and stuff, think that would go down well.

What about Panna Cotta with summer berry's, normally quite small and cold so ideal for summer?

I am having Chocolate Torte but I am a winter wedding

I also think of something lemony when I think of summer!

We had passionfruit mousse with a mango jelly and lime anglaise. x

You are in a predicament! I was thinking baked alsska...but thaats meringue based! You could get them to go a minni knicker-boker-glory kinda thing. With marshmallows, strawberries, jelly, ice cream and chocolate maybe! Now if i got that at a wedding I would love it!

We're having the "platter of desserts" at ours! its 4 mini desserts and its lovely! and the way I was thining was if someone didnt like one, they could trade with their neighbour! lol

We are having vanilla terrine with berry coulis , and an assortment of cheesecakes/ gateau,s ours is a summer wedding. ? 7 weeks tomorrow !!!!!!

Thank you SO much ladies - my dieting tum is going barmy reading this!

So many gorgeous sounding desserts and fab ideas - feel totally inspired now! Loving the mousse idea, knickerbockerglory and the summer fruit pudding...though what is summer fruit pudding drifter and bobbins? It sounds right up our street!

Errggh computer went all weird on me then and wouldn't let me continue my ramble, humph!

Am feeling much more confident about a nice strawberry/fruity/summery dessert affair now, my taste buds are a tinglin'!

Also love the creams scones, that would be so cool and English after the beef and yorkshire!

Bethan - I never knew mousse could look like that, Loving It! x
