The inevitable sweets during festivities are the "bussolai buranei" and the Venetian "zaeti" or "zaleti".

Bussolai are sweet pastry biscuits made of eggs and butter, typical of the island of Burano. Their particular name derives from the term "busa" which in Venetian dialect means hole.

Zaeti are rounded, crumbly lozenge-shaped biscuits made of raisins and corn flour. It is precisely to this last ingredient that they owe their name, because it gives the dough an unmistakable intense yellow color.

Traditionally, in Venice, during festivities, a meal does not end without offering "bussolai e zaeti" with wines, liqueurs or mascarpone cream.
