Lux Sucre Desserts
We asked Lux Sucre Desserts, a bakery in Wilsonville, to share their process for handling larger events during covid and how they have made adjustments to their daily operations.
“As a vendor who doesn't stay on site during the event, we have been working hand in hand with the Venue Coordinators as well as Catering Managers to make sure that all of the appropriate serving protocols are met. Many of the Venues that we work with have invested in acrylic sneeze guards or stanchion ropes that we set up to protect our wedding cakes and dessert tables from close interactions with guests. In most circumstances, even prior to COVID, the catering team handles the cutting of the cake and plating it for guests. Where we have seen the most change is with our "Buffet" style dessert tables. Our process now is to set up the dessert table with its proper protection and then the catering team comes along and plates a variety of desserts and delivers to each table. This allows the happy couple to have the dessert display of their dreams without compromising the health and safety of their guests. In order for this format to work effectively, the catering team will need to rent/provide additional service platters to account for each table- a note that is important for the couple to discuss with their catering vendor. While we are not able to stay on site, setting our clients up for success has been an important part of our transition. All our staff wear masks during delivery, sanitize and clean hands and surfaces frequently, as well as provide fresh boxes for leftover cake, etc.
Now that we are a year into the process of COVID, we have hit an operation groove and found our stride within the COVID guidelines. While many of our couples from 2020 postponed to 2021, we are confident that our summer season will be successful for all couples who have realistic expectations about guest count, processes, & overall format. While "normal" is still in the distance, we can find ways of working together to achieve successful & beautiful events. Lux Sucre Desserts is fortunate to have a storefront that was able to pivot into Pop Up Sale events as we made adjustments to our walk in process, carrying us during all of the postponements. Our bakery is now allowing single groups in our storefront at a time, all guests must wear masks, hand sanitizer is provided, and contactless payment is also available. We are looking forward to a smooth & healthy summer season!”
