We are making some progress on building a fabulous dessert buffet. We have decided to go with Sweet Mandy B's for the mini cupcakes and some assorted bars. If you live anywhere near Chicago you must check this place out, the cupcakes were amazing and the guy who helped us was so nice and helpful.
As for the rest of the buffet it will be a bit random but I am hoping a huge hit nonetheless. Here are the goods so far:
Trader Joe's: Dark Chocolate Caramels & Milk Chocolate Pretzels, SO GOOD
Whole Foods: Two Bite Brownies & Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies, also, SO GOOD
Fannie May: Trinidads (the fiance's favorite) & Mint Meltaways, again, SO GOOD!
I am still scoping out where to get the vegan and gluten free treats but so far I like Bleeding Heart Bakery and Babycakes NYC.
I am so excited! We are thinking it will come to about 4 pieces per person which seems like a good amount and there will be take home boxes for anyone who wants leftovers. I also got these ADORABLE napkins from Paper Source, I can't afford to have them for cocktails but got enough for dessert. Since the display will be fairly simple with white and chocolate being the only colors I think this will be a nice pop of color.
We are trusting our awesome DOC to help pull this all together, otherwise I do not know how this would be possible.

No kidding, Sweet Mandy B's might be one of my favorite places on the planet. Excellent choice!!
Two words - "a mazing" dessert buffet! We did SMB's - our personal favorite - and EVERYONE LOVED everything. Great choice!!!
Sounds terrific! LOVE the napkins! I'm posting about our dessert buffet tomorrow so please feel free to check it out! Kelly
p.s. I'm telling my friend and brother-in-law who live in Chicago about Sweet Mandy B's. I'll have to try it next time we go visit! Kelly
I love your sweets idea. I wish we were getting married in Chitown, miss it too much.

I live right down the street from Sweet Mandy B's...so good!
I just found your blog, and I love it. I am not getting married in Chicago, but have done a lot of the legwork here.
Congrats and good luck; I hope you don't mind if I like to you on my blog?
Thanks for the tip, can't wait to check that place out when I'm back in Chi-town next month!
I can't wait to come home to Chi-town next month and finally try those Sweet Mandy B's I keep hearing about! This buffet sounds FAB.
Trader Joes chocolate pretzels are the best!
