Buying Guides & FAQs
Short, practical guides to help you choose the right DLux mini dessert cups for your event, followed by answers to the questions we are asked most often.
How Many Dessert Cups Do I Need for a Wedding?
A simple rule of thumb: multiply your guest count by the number of mini desserts each guest will have, then add about 10% extra for second helpings and display.
- Dessert table alongside a wedding cake: plan 1–2 mini desserts per guest.
- Dessert table instead of a cake: plan 2–3 mini desserts per guest.
| Guests | 1–2 per guest | 2–3 per guest |
|---|---|---|
| 50 | 55–110 cups | 110–165 cups |
| 100 | 110–220 cups | 220–330 cups |
| 150 | 165–330 cups | 330–500 cups |
DLux cups come in packs of 28 up to 1,000, so you can mix two or three shapes for variety, or choose a bulk pack for one consistent look. If you are making desserts a day ahead, choose a pack with lids so they can be stored and transported easily.
Choosing the Right Dessert Cup Size
DLux mini dessert cups range from 2 oz to 5.5 oz, plus a 4-inch teardrop.
- 2 oz (square, 1.75" × 2"): bite-sized portions and tasting menus, ideal when you are serving many different desserts.
- 2.5–3 oz (slanted round, slanted square, slanted triangle, tall square, tall shooter): layered desserts and dessert shots; the tall shapes show off every layer.
- 3.5 oz (square, angled swirl): a slightly larger single serving for mousse, cheesecake or tiramisu.
- 5–5.5 oz (large square, angled swirl, hexagonal swirl, coffee mug): fuller servings such as parfaits and layered desserts.
- 4-inch teardrop: appetizers, amuse-bouches and sushi, with matching forks in some packs.
Lids, Spoons, Forks or Cups Only?
- Spoons: most packs include matching mini spoons, ready to serve.
- Spoons & lids: best if you prepare ahead. Lids let you make desserts in advance, store them and transport them easily.
- Forks: teardrop packs with forks suit appetizers and finger foods.
- Cups only: good if you already have utensils or are restocking.
