At Angie’s, we specialise in catering and platter services for events of all kinds. Among our best dishes is our range of sweet canapes, from our mini chocolate brownies to our vegan caramel shortbread. In this article, we dive into why sweet canapes serve as the perfect addition to your event, as well as covering the full range of options on offer from Angie’s.
Why Choose Sweet Canapes?
Desserts are a universal dish that almost everybody loves in some capacity. For events and gatherings, having sweet canapes at hand is a great addition. Outside of the deliciousness, there are plenty of reasons to get these platters for the next important occasion.
The Visual Appeal
While the quality of ingredients and taste of the dish is always most important, the visual appeal of sweet canapes adds an extra layer of sophistication and style to your event. For the most part, sweet canapes are designed and plated to be visually striking and inviting to your guests.
At Angie’s, it is no different. All of our sweet canapes are prepared to be a visual delight, drawing in guests with expertly plated and mouth-watering dessert foods. The visual appeal also adds to the event’s atmosphere, taking it up a notch in terms of sophistication.
Versatility
Among its many benefits is the versatility of sweet canapes, seamlessly fitting into all sorts of event types. You can serve these canapes as a pre-dinner treat, a dessert dish or have it laid out on a dessert table for the duration of the gathering.
In addition, the range of platters available from Angie’s means you can cater to different dietary restrictions. As the host of a gathering or event, keeping every guest in mind is key. The versatility of these sweet canapes platters means your gluten-free and diary-free guests do not have to miss out on the deliciousness.
Bite-Sized And Easy To Eat
Of course, as with most platters, these dessert platters are generally bite-sized and incredibly easy to eat. Your guests will not have to take the time to dish up and sit down or worry about causing a mess, as all the platters are prepared and plated for ease of consumption. Even if you are mid-conversation, grabbing a bite from the platter takes next to no effort.
The ease of consumption means the flow of the event never has to be interrupted and guests can indulge in any of the sweet canapes as they please. Guests can continue to mingle and enjoy conversation with the appetising convenience of a sweet canapé platter at hand at all times.
Practicality And Portion Control
The easy to serve nature of these platters makes it incredibly easy for guests to eat manageable portions, never having to worry about dishing too much or over eating. Additionally, the practicality of serving platters keeps your guests engaging with each other. We all know that a little too much dessert can leave us feeling lethargic and less energetic, but platters generally make eating reasonable portions much easier.
The clean-up process is also swift, as the platters come delivered in biodegradable and disposable containers. As such, you do not have to serve each platter in a dish of your own and guests do not each have to use a large plate or bowl to eat, saving you time in the kitchen at the end of the day.
An Elevated Guest Experience
Good food leaves a lasting impression on guests and desserts are no different. Sweet canapes help balance out the savoury menu, offering your guests with a sweet tooth the perfect treat. They also add to the atmosphere as a whole, bringing a sense of sophistication to the gathering.
The chef-plated platters compliment the tone of your event, whether that be a small intimate party or a larger corporate event. When guests leave, they are bound to remember the striking and appetising sweet canapes that you served, adding that extra layer of enjoyment to the evening as a whole.
Sweet Canapé Options
Deciding to get some sweet canapes for your event is the easy decision. Next, you have to decide on the exact platters you wish to serve. Fortunately, Angie’s sweet canapes offer a little bit of everything, and we are going to break down exactly what is on offer.
Chocolate Brownies And Shortbreads
Our Chocolate Brownies and Shortbread sweet canapes come served with strawberries and blueberries. The combination of these timelessly classic treats gives guests rich cocoa brownies and crisp chocolate-covered shortbread; the rich and sweet flavours working in tandem to create an incredibly satisfying flavour. The fresh strawberries and blueberries compliment the rich and crisp texture of the brownies and shortbread.
For anyone who loves chocolate, this is the perfect option, with both the brownies and shortbread offering two distinct chocolate flavours. The dish is not vegan-friendly or gluten-free, but is perfectly suitable for your vegetarian guests.
White Chocolate And Macadamia Blondies
The White Chocolate and Macadamia Blondies is a buttery white chocolate dish with crunchy macadamia nuts. The macadamia blondies provide an exceptional balance of sweet and nutty flavours with a soft and chewy texture. The chocolate itself is rich in flavour and works gorgeously with the nuts to create an appetising and satisfying dish.
Our white chocolate and macadamia blondie sweet canapes also come served with raspberries, strawberries and blueberries. The freshness of the fruit is the perfect complement to the richness of the chocolate and crunch of the macadamias. The dish is suitable for vegetarians, but it is not vegan-friendly or gluten-free.
Vegan Raspberry And Coconut Brownies
For those on vegan and gluten-free diets, our Vegan Raspberry and Coconut Brownies are an enticing and satisfying plant-based option. The brownies are soft, fudgy and full of flavour, while the fresh and sweet raspberries add a fruity contrast to the overall taste. The coconut adds a little more to the texture and sweetness of the dish.
As a vegan and gluten-free platter, your guests with dietary restrictions can indulge in this tasty dessert with no need to worry about consuming something that breaks their diet. Catering to all of your guests improves the experience for everyone, especially those who generally avoid desserts at events due to their diets.
Blueberry, Pistachio And White Chocolate Mini Almond Cakes
Another in Angie’s line of delicious, visually striking dessert platters, the Blueberry, Pistachio and White Chocolate Mini Almond Cakes are as delectable as they sound. A blueberry powder and raspberry flavour is added, and each dish is topped with buttercream and white chocolate buttons. A fresh blueberry or raspberry is added to each mini-cake to add a little extra fruitiness and pop of colour.
You get 40 bite-sized cakes for your guests, each packed with chocolatey, nutty flavour that is bound to satisfy their taste buds. The dish is also gluten-free, giving your guests with stricter diets another dessert option to scratch that sweet tooth itch.
Chocolate Brownies With Berries
You cannot go wrong with the classics and choosing our Chocolate Brownies with Berries will not let you down. The sweet and rich flavour is a result of the fudgy chocolate flavour working together with the tart, fruitiness of the berries.
Made with only the highest quality ingredients, these sweet canapes are a simple, yet delightful dish option that will no doubt impress your guests and leave them wanting more. Guests tend to love chocolate, and this dish is guaranteed to be some of the best chocolate brownies they have had in a long time. Our chocolate brownies with berries platter is unfortunately not suitable for vegans or those on a gluten-free diet.
Vegan Caramel Shortbread
Another one of the delicious gluten-free and vegan-friendly options we offer is our Vegan Caramel Shortbread sweet canapes, which holds nothing back when it comes to flavour. The ultimate alternative to its classic counterpart, the sweet caramel shortbread is both creamy and crisp in texture, its velvet chocolate helping to create an immaculate combination of flavours and textures.
For guests with dietary preferences, the Vegan Caramel Shortbread is a luxurious and satisfying option. Even if you are not on a vegan friendly or gluten-free diet, the chocolate caramel shortbread is bound to impress you and keep you coming back for more.
