Pricing
Your total is the per-tray price times the number of trays. Enter your date, guest count and number of trays on this page to see the price, then send a request to book and list the desserts for each tray.
How Many Trays
Each tray of thirty-six cups serves about twenty-five guests. For fifty guests, plan two trays. If other sweets are on the table, one cup per guest can stretch a tray further, and leftover cups keep well chilled.
Pastries and Special-Occasion Cakes
The same kitchen makes Persian and classic pastries, including napoleons, rollet, latifeh, nan khamei, fruit tarts with custard, pastry with custard and fruit, zaban, danmarki, chocolate cake slices, chocolate croissants and apple pie, as well as special-occasion cakes. These can be added to your order; ask about them when you request to book.
Building a Dessert Table
Cups photograph well, which makes them a favorite for a wedding dessert table or an engagement party dessert table. Alternating trays of light and dark desserts, such as panacota with jelly next to chocolate mousse, creates a pattern on a long table without extra props.
Pairing a familiar dessert such as tiramisu or cheesecake with a Persian classic such as shole zard gives every guest something they know and something new to try.
About the Desserts
Tres leche is a sponge cake soaked in three kinds of milk. Tiramisu layers coffee-soaked biscuits with mascarpone cream. Flan leche is a custard with a caramel top, and panacota is a set cream dessert. Shole zard is the Persian saffron and rice pudding, scented with rose water and served at Nowruz, weddings and religious gatherings. Mixing a Persian dessert with a few familiar favorites means every guest finds something they like.
Planning Tips
Pick colors that match your theme: panacota with jelly brings a bright fruit layer, chocolate mousse and tiramisu bring deep browns, and shole zard brings saffron gold. For a gender reveal or a baby shower, two trays in contrasting colors make a striking display. Ask for the cups to arrive chilled and set them out shortly before dessert is served.
