Hosting an event is often a challenging yet rewarding experience. Between the guest list, decorations, activities, and food, there are a lot of things to jungle to ensure your event goes off without a hitch. It might seem easier and more cost-efficient to handle foods, including desserts, on your own. While whipping up homemade desserts does add a personal touch, it also requires time, skill, and oven space.
3 Factors to Consider
If you’re still wondering whether or not you should work with a bakery to secure sweet treats for your special day, you need to think about what desserts you’d like to serve, how many people are attending, and how much time you can dedicate to baking.
Skill Level
Baking is a science. It can be complicated, especially for those without professional training or experience. If you’re new to baking and want to make homemade treats for an event, you should expect some trial and error depending on how complex the dessert you plan to make is.
Time Investment
Handling the baking on your own for an event means planning out menus, shopping for ingredients, baking the desserts, decorating them, and serving them in addition to actually hosting. Together, these tasks are time-consuming. Think about how much time you are willing to commit to making homemade desserts for your event.
Number of Guests
If you’re hosting a small event, you can probably manage making desserts on your own. However, the more guests you have, the more desserts you’ll need and the more overwhelming the task of baking on your own can become.
