Today on Wedding Secrets Unveiled! we’ve got a delicious treat: Maria Vingi-Bedrosian of Only The Finest Italian Cookies & Espresso joins us to show how the classic cookie table — a tradition that began during the Great Depression — has come roaring back (and beyond Italian families). A dessert spread lets you offer a little something for every taste, and the best part? Guests can take home the leftovers as an extra favor. Tune in to Sara and Maria’s chat for everything you need to know about these alternative dessert options — plus a few laughs along the way!

In This Episode
Where did the dessert/cookie table tradition begin?
During the Great Depression—when cakes were too expensive, moms and nonnas baked cookies so couples could still treat guests. It’s making a big comeback today.
Should I do cookies if I already have other desserts?
Yes—cookies (plus espresso) give guests a reason to linger, especially if they’re not big dancers or drinkers. You can even keep it simple with a tray or two instead of a full display.
Why are cannoli so popular right now?
They’re fun and interactive—fresh cannoli being piped on the dance floor is an unforgettable (and super Instagrammable) moment.
