A Cake for a Special Occasion
Italian Bakery Ideas For Special Events
Allen Torres
If you're planning any type of special event and aren't sure what type of dessert you'd like to serve, consider treating guests to a selection of Italian baked goods. Kids and adults of all ages will enjoy the authentic treats, making them a hit for all party goers.
Serving Italian pastries will end your event on a sweet note, and send guests home with a lasting impression. You can also use Italian pastries as tasty party favors by packaging them up in individual bags or boxes, and then placing them by guests' place settings.
Italian pastries make appropriate desserts, and even brunch menu options, depending on the type of day your party is held. Serve the pastries at events such as kids' and adults' birthday parties, holiday celebrations, baby and bridal showers, graduation bashes, anniversary soirees, family reunions, and wedding receptions.
Depending on the size of your guest list, your party-planning budget, and how much time you have to spend in the kitchen, you can either make the pastries yourself or buy them from your favorite Italian bakery. Just be sure to place your order far enough in advance, especially if it's a big event.
Following are some Italian bakery ideas for your next celebration:
1. Italian Butter Cookies
If you're looking for one type of dessert that is most likely to appeal to all of your guests, consider serving platters of Italian butter cookies. Made with simple, fresh ingredients, they are a basic cookie that complements coffee and tea, and even hot chocolate for young guests, well.
These rich, traditional cookies have a shortbread texture and can come plain, glazed, or even frosted. You can create a customized dessert by having the cookies frosted with a color that matches with an event theme, such as pink or blue for a baby shower.
The cookies make also feature a cream or chocolate filling, as well as festive colorful sprinkles, which is especially ideal for kids' birthday parties.
2. Tiramisu
Another Italian bakery favorite is rich tiramisu. The traditional dessert features layers of soft, moist sponge cake, a sweet, creamy filling, plenty of coffee flavor, and a decadent chocolate frosting.
Tiramisu also pairs well with any type of hot beverage, and can also be customized to coordinate with a special occasion. For instance, have the frosting decorated with icing to celebrate a special occasion, such as college graduation, or a holiday.
