Fifteen dozen two-ounce cookie bites, 180 pieces and a little over twenty-two pounds, baked to your date in a Discovery Bay home kitchen.

Local delivery, local pickup or shipping depends on your location.

The typed group size is 50 to 200 guests, but fifty cookies is one each for 50 people, so size up for a longer guest list.

Book nowBelgian Chocolate Truffle Cake
Twenty-four individual Belgian chocolate truffle cakes, so guests take one without slicing, plating or waiting in line.

How to plan baby shower desserts for 25 to 100 guests
How much dessert per guest?
The Castro Valley shop counts two minis per guest, so one 48-piece eclair order covers about 24 people. The Hercules listings size 50 bite-size mochi donuts for roughly 25 to 50 guests and 48 regular donuts for 24 to 48. The Discovery Bay cookie bites call for a few pieces per guest, while its jumbo cookies are built as one per guest. Our guide to how much dessert per guest covers the math for other formats.
What a 30- or 60-guest shower would spend
Two worked examples, before delivery, taxes and fees. For 30 guests: 48 regular mochi donuts ($175.00) plus one order of mini eclairs ($140.00) comes to $315.00 for 96 pieces, about 3.2 per guest. For 60 guests: 100 bite-size mochi donuts ($200.00) plus 50 jumbo cookies sent home as favors ($165.00) comes to $365.00 for 150 pieces, 2.5 per guest. For one dessert only, 60 cupcakes at $4.00 each come to $240.00 before tax.
Assorted desserts on one table
Two or three formats make a fuller table than one large order: mochi donuts for color, cookie bites for range, and eclairs or truffle cakes for chocolate. For styling ideas, see our Bay Area event dessert tables guide, and for flowers to match, our baby shower flowers in San Francisco picks.
Gluten-free, vegan and allergy notes
The Hercules mochi donuts are made with rice flour and the listings offer a gluten-free preparation; confirm gluten-free counts when ordering. The Discovery Bay kitchen bakes vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and nut-free versions on request, and the Palo Alto cupcake listing offers gluten-free, vegan and lactose-free options. The Castro Valley eclair and truffle cake listings do not describe a gluten-free version, so pair them with another format if anyone avoids gluten.
Pickup, delivery and timing near San Pablo
All nine listings show Travels to You, which here means pickup or delivery (with setup included for the cupcakes and offered as an add-on by the Castro Valley shop); none of the descriptions mentions staff staying to serve. The Hercules bakery lists the Oakland and East Bay area in its service area, with free curbside pickup. The Discovery Bay kitchen offers local delivery, local pickup or shipping depending on your location. The Castro Valley and Palo Alto listings do not name San Pablo, so ask when you request a date. The 1-hour duration on the mochi and cookie listings is a handoff slot; confirm the time with the vendor.
