Wedding Cake Alternatives
Think outside the cake and consider some of these ideas for your wedding day dessert.
Centerpiece cakes... Pull double duty and use a beautiful wedding cake as the centerpiece for each of your tables. some ambitious newlyweds stop at each tble to cut and serve their guests the cake, which is a beautiful idea, but depending on the timetable and the number of tables this won't work for everyone.
Mini cakes... Another dual action idea is to serve a mini wedding cake at each place setting - which would make your tables deliciously beautiful. Also, each cake could be adorned with the guest's name (thus serving as a tasty place card!)
A cupcake cake... A fun, more informal option is to serve individual cupcakes, each beautifully decorated to match your wedding colors and style, set on a tiered stand to resemble a stacked wedding cake. This also makes a fun dessert for other wedding events such as a wedding shower or morning-after brunch.
Dessert table... Instead of a single wedding cake, perhaps you'd prefer a dessert table, with a pastries, cookies, chocolates, dessert cheeses and/or fruits. guests can browse, nibble and help themselves.
Sundae bar... A fun idea for a more informal wedding... kids young and old will love it! Include a few different ice creams and a boatload of toppings. Don't forget the whipped cream and maraschino cherries.
Meaningful dessert... Consider skipping the cake, and instead selecting a special dessert that is meaningful to you and your groom... something you enjoyed on your first vacation together, is a regional or ethnic specialty, or is just a particular favorite of yours.
