13 Favorite Wedding Foods You Can Make Sensational

With the wedding season upon us, I thought I’d give you a list of my favorite wedding foods. I know I got married long ago, but these classics are still a go to for the young brides in our area. These are recipes you can have catered or make yourselves as we do here. My 13 Favorite Wedding Foods You Can Make Sensational are so delicious and the perfect wedding treats. Let’s get started and then save your favorites to Pinterest, so you can come back to it later.

1.Finnish Wedding Cake

The Finnish cream cake is really easy, fresh and works great for the naked cake style. Or you can go to our post with 20 of the prettiest wedding cakes for more ideas. But, I also have an amazing gluten free coconut cream cake perfect for your gluten free guests! Check out the Finnish Cake recipe.

2. Chicken Grape Pasta Salad

Now for my favorite pasta salad! This is something your friends can make and bring to the wedding venue in Ziploc bags. Just add it to a big silver or glass bowl and serve. But remember to send this recipe to the makers so they get it just right! You don’t want a mish mash of salads. Chicken and grape pasta salad recipe.

3. Warm Bagel Sandwich

More food! Usually it’s the guys that are into the sandwiches, so these are my go to choices. The bagel sandwich can be served warm or cold. I like using shaved ham with the bagels warmed and just a bit of fresh basil or dill for flavor. Costco may come in handy for mini bagels or even pretzel rolls that you can cut in half.

4. Open Face Sandwich

This open faced sandwich looks pretty delicious. I have my own twist on this type of sandwich, the recipe is below. For the apple and turkey sandwich here is the recipe.

6. Saucy Asian Meatballs

Meatballs are super easy. Keep warm in a crock pot and serve out of a beautiful silver bowl. Or if you have ovens available to keep warm, you can serve on trays. Again Costco comes in handy for these. By the way, our dog Daisy doesn’t eat Ikea meatballs so we don’t either. Just saying. You definitely need to take a look at how to cook up these delicious Asian meatballs.

7. Pulled Pork Sandwich

Kevin and Amanda make this yummy looking sandwich. How tasty does this look? Could you eat up the whole plate? Pulled pork sandwiches are something I could just keep eating and eating, they’re so good.

8. Rice Crispy Bars Dipped

Bars, cookies, and mini cakes are fun to add. Here’s some of my favorites below. More options are available on the blog if you’d like to save them for later. Rice krispy hearts are the perfect treat to show some love.

9. ScotchaRoo Bars

If you haven’t had these I am telling you right now to go make them! Roos are one of the most delicious things ever. ScotchaRoos are so yummy you will want to eat the whole tray up.

10. Strawberry Shortcakes

What a perfect idea for your guests to have some amazing dessert! This can also work for many other types of desserts, so give it a try! The strawberry shortcake recipe is a yummy addition to any wedding.

11.Wedding Wafer Cookies

Oh I sure do remember having these at my wedding. They are so tasty and that perfect bit of sweetness. If you have never tried wedding wafer cookies, I would highly recommend trying them. But the best part is you can have these anytime you want.

12. Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Here is another option of adding fruit in your wedding! Chocolate covered strawberries are perfect for someone to make. White chocolate is always very elegant for weddings. There is nothing quite like chocolate covered strawberries.

13. Mini Cheesecakes

I have made these before and they are always a hit! But just make sure your kids don’t eat them up when you’re not looking. Mini cheesecakes are something that I can’t stay away from and same with Daisy. She might of tried to snatch some of these up.

Don’t forget about the drinks! I have some options here. One of these my hubby make on a Summer day, I’d have to say it’s pretty good. If you like to keep it simple, just stick with Sprite and some peach syrup for and easy mix. Now that’s refreshing.

    sure brings back memories when I prepared for your wedding. Those wafer cookies are yummy, and I ate my share of them when I made them for your wedding. I made the Finnish Wedding Cake for your sister, Valerie’s wedding and we covered the whole cake with the icing and decorated it. It is a refreshing cake that isn’t too sweet and super easy to make.
    Great post!
