Sweets & Desserts for Office Catering

Dessert catering is a sweet platter, tray or box delivered to the office to finish a lunch, carry a morning tea or mark an occasion: a birthday, a farewell, a client win, the last day before the holidays. It can be a single tray in the middle of the table or a spread of small sweets that people pick at all afternoon.

Italians call it the dolce, and it is never optional. A shared dessert keeps people at the table ten minutes longer, which is often the whole point. The best office desserts can be eaten in one or two bites, standing up, without a plate: cannoli, tartlets, babà, cookies. The tiramisù tray is the exception, and worth a spoon.

The Italian side of the menu: the Italian Cannoli Platter (20, 40 or 80 cannoli), a Tiramisù Tray for up to 12, Panna Cotta ai Frutti di Bosco for up to 15, and the Mini Neapolitan Babà Platter of 30, plain, with whipped cream or with vanilla custard. Then the platters: Assorted Tartlets (15 or 30), Tea Scones with berry jam and whipped cream, the Premium Pastry & Biscuit Tea Platter, Danish, cookie, brownie and cake platters, Banana Bread Bites and fruit.

For a lunch of 20, one tiramisù tray and a platter of 20 cannoli finishes things properly. For a morning tea, mix one sweet platter with fruit. Our post on cannoli, tartlets and scones has more.

Our Italian desserts taste Italian because the kitchen is. Head chef John Thomas grew up in Umbria and learned to cook in his Nonna's kitchen, and our dessert menu leans Italian: Sicilian cannoli, tiramisù, panna cotta and Neapolitan babà. The banana bread is baked in-house, and every platter is put together in our kitchen on Bent Street on the day it is delivered.

We deliver ourselves, in our own van, to your floor, which matters for anything with cream on it. A tray of babà should arrive looking the way it left. We know the docks and lifts at Aurora Place, Quay Quarter, International Towers, 1 Bligh Street and Governor Macquarie Tower, and dozens of other CBD towers.

Desserts are mostly flour, butter, eggs and nuts, so this is the page where dietary planning matters most. Gluten-free choices include the Gluten Free Friands (made with almond meal), the Gluten Free Dark Chocolate Cookie, the protein balls and the fruit platters. The protein balls, fruit salad pots, seasonal fruit platter and fruit skewers are vegan too. Halal-certified options run across most of our menus, and every product shows its dietary tags.

Tell us about allergies when you order. We cross-check every item for peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, shellfish, eggs, gluten and dairy, and some sweets (the macadamia brownie, the salty caramel macadamia cookie, the friands) contain nuts by design. Every platter is labelled. Our kitchen is not a fully allergen-free environment, so call us for complex needs.

We deliver dessert platters across the Sydney CBD, Martin Place, Barangaroo, Wynyard and Circular Quay, and out to Pyrmont, Ultimo, Surry Hills, Darlinghurst, Potts Point, Woolloomooloo, North Sydney, Crows Nest, Chatswood, Macquarie Park and the inner Eastern Suburbs. Elsewhere, contact us and ask.

Order by 2:30pm for next-day delivery and choose the time at checkout. For a surprise birthday or a farewell nobody planned, call before 9am and we will tell you whether we can make it work on the day. Large or custom dessert orders need 48 hours. We deliver Monday to Friday.

Add your sweets to the cart above, choose the date and time and check out. The minimum for delivery is $100, and there is no minimum for pick-up from the cafe. For a dessert spread for a big event, contact us with the headcount and we will plan the mix.

Desserts travel well with the rest of a catering order. Add them to office lunch catering so the meal ends properly, or build a full morning and afternoon tea around them. Offices with a regular birthday cake run can set up a standing account, with preferences on file and every order billed to the account.
