Our catering company ensures that every dish we serve looks and tastes incredible whether it’s a one-bite canapé or a show-stopping hog roast. And, of course, all memorable events end with an artistic arrangement of indulgent desserts.
A Brief History Of Desserts
The word dessert is derived from the French, desservir, meaning to ‘clear the table’. The word emerged in the 17th century at a time when sweet offerings rounded off a large meal. Before this point, sweet and savoury dishes were commonly served together, with desserts used to cleanse the palate. Popular dishes in the Middle Ages included sweet jellies and wafers mixed with nuts and butter. Apple pie originated in the late 1300s and gingerbread followed soon after.
The first sugar plantation was established in 1518 and by the early 1600s Brazil was producing 15,000 – 20,000 tons per year, becoming the leading supplier to the European market. English planters first began growing sugarcane in Barbados in the 1640s, using a mixture of convicts and slaves for labour, making it a highly profitable business. With reduced sugar prices back home, an explosion of sweet treats found their way to the table. At this point, desserts were used to end a meal, a tradition that we as a catering company and you at home are still familiar with today.

Our wide variety of delicate mini desserts and velvety cakes will satisfy every sweet tooth in line at your buffet, but if you have something specific in mind that doesn’t appear on our menu, our catering company will happily create a new dish for your event.
