The classic mithai lineup
Gulab jamun, rasgulla, kaju katli, moong dal halwa, gajar halwa in winter, rasmalai, jalebi with rabri, motichoor laddoo, soan papdi. A wedding mithai counter usually features 5 to 8 of these.
Live dessert counters
Live jalebi with hot rabri, live gulab jamun frying, live malpua, live rabri falooda, live kulfi with faluda. These outperform static desserts on guest engagement and photography.
Modern fusion desserts
Rasmalai tiramisu cups, gulab jamun cheesecake, mithai platters with edible gold leaf, and thandai-flavoured mousse are popular fusion additions for 2026 UAE weddings.
