Default dessert amount question

How many desserts should I plan for in a buffet? Is there a rule of thumb? I'm doing mini desserts.

Thanks

More than two, but less than 5. In short... three or four. If one of the choices is "cookies," don't confuse the issue by serving a bunch of different types; you'll have enough variety.
