Useful approach: Muffins work best as one component when serving a full meal.
Breakfast
Pair a standard muffin with fruit, yogurt, eggs or another protein source according to guest preferences.
Brunch
Offer one sweet muffin, one savoury bread or muffin and a non-baked option. This gives variety without buying six similar flavours.
Service flow
Label items, keep perishable foods cold or hot as required, and replenish in smaller batches instead of exposing everything at once.
Practical checklist
- Confirm guest dietary needs.
- Label flavours and allergens.
- Plan storage before the event.
- Use smaller portions for tasting menus.
