Cupcakes for adults at a childs bday party?

I wouldn't get the adults a different dessert than the kids because I could see the kids then wanting both desserts...

I would say get a batch of mini cupcakes for the adults. Cupcakes are so easy, no utensils.

I don't think a lot of adults eat the cake. Sometimes they don't eat the pizza. If there's extra give it out but it is not necessary to get something extra for them.

so after going back and forth I just ended up ordering extra cupcakes. the extra ones were only a $1 each and any cookie/pastry tray would have cost me about $30+ anyway so I figure why add another thing to my plate and have to go order and pick something up ... i felt weird buying cupcakes/cake from another place just for adults; I know it probably wasn't a big deal but I figured if i am going to server them cupcakes/cake i thing it should all be from the same pave ... I got a total of 60 hopefully its enough and hopefully I don't end up with a huge amount left over

I wouldn't get cupcakes just for the adults. Any party I have been to that had cupcakes, none were provided for adults. When there is a sheet cake they walk a few leftover slices around. I rarely see more than 1-2 parents actually eat it. You did say you were providing food for the adults, that is enough. If you were not providing food then I would get the cupcakes. Honestly while all parties we go to have food for the adults I rarely see anyone actually eat it. I see parents getting platters of wraps or sandwiches, which go uneaten. If it was a bbq at your house I might feel differently, but it is a kids party, as an adult I do not expect dessert and food. I would get some cookies if you feel you need something more.
