Depending on who your party is for (kids or adults) and your family’s culture, you can go for any number of sweets.

Some people settle for one or two sweets as desserts, while some people want a minimum of five sweets in the spread! So, it all depends on what you are used to.

If you are going for just two sweets, try to plan for one traditional and one innovative option. Say, the Besan Ladoo and Mango Kheer, Mohanthal and Strawberry Cheesecake, or Gulab Jamun and Orange Sandesh.

For kids, try to go for dry, non-messy sweets that are easy to handle like Almond Coconut Bars, Homemade Cinnamon Rolls and Rose Barfi.

Of course, kids love Fudge Fingers even if it means a few stains on their dresses!
