Succulent Pastries to Serve at Your Wedding…

Today is National Pastry Day, and we sure hope you’re all celebrating it! We can’t think of a more delicious topic to tackle today. Let’s work up those appetites by sharing some succulent pastries you’re going to want to serve at your wedding:

1. Turnovers. Turnovers are one of the most versatile pastries, working well with sweet and savory fillings alike. Some of our favorite fillings include apple cinnamon, cherry, bacon and cheese, or shredded beef.

2. Baklava. This Mediterranean pastry dessert layers flaky phyllo dough with stacked honey and chopped nuts to blend luscious textures with the perfect sweet and savory flavors.

3. Stuffed pastry shells. You can fill hollowed-out pastry shells with nearly any delicious filling. Consider using pastry shells to hold chicken pot pie filling, creamy corn or clam chowder, or fresh fruit with whipped cream.

4. Caramel pecan rolls. Whether you’re hosting a brunch wedding or just offering a dessert table, adding crunchy and gooey caramel pecan rolls to the options will definitely wow your guests. These aren’t your grandmother’s cinnamon rolls!

5. Kolaches. Another potential savory option, kolaches are stuffed dough balls usually filled with fruit, cream, or savory ingredients like sausage, cheese, and potatoes. There are many ways to elevate these pastries to become the star of your wedding menu.

6. Dinner rolls. Okay, this sounds remarkably basic after everything else on this list, but most weddings have bread on the tables. Serving up fresh-baked rolls hot from the oven will get the meal off to the right start!

7. Croissants. Not impressed with the idea of dinner rolls? Serve up buttery croissants with your meal instead.

8. Tarts. Another versatile option, tarts are wonderful pastries because they can easily be made to serve individuals or groups. Tarts pair well with nearly any kind of fruit, meat, or vegetable, making them one of the most popular pastries at any event.
