The Top 5 Alternative Desserts For Your Wedding Day

By July 27, 2018May 28th, 2019No Comments
Many couples dream of having the perfect wedding cake on their big day, but there are other desserts that you can enjoy. Cookies, cupcakes, pies, bundt cakes, and dessert tables can bring a fun and unique element to your reception and still allow you to show your personal style.

Cookies

Choosing cookies for your wedding day gives you versatility in flavor, shape, size, and style, so it’s one of the best alternatives to a traditional cake. Cookies can be beautifully decorated specifically for the bride and groom, or they can be customized to match the theme of your wedding. Guests can easily grab and enjoy this dessert during your reception without worrying about waiting in line for cake cutting. Feeding a large group of people with cookies is much easier to handle.

Cupcakes

Cupcakes make a great wedding cake alternative for several reasons. Flavor variations between the cake, icing, and even filling can be fun and delicious to put together for guests. Cupcakes are also much easier to grab when compared to traditional cake. This dessert is easily transported and can be stacked on a decorative stand to create a centerpiece during the reception.

Pies

Your wedding day should reflect your interests, so if you prefer pie over cake then you’re in luck. Some bakeries will cater your special day with pies instead of a cake. Whether your favorite is an apple, pecan, cream cheese, chocolate, or berry pie, you can fill your dessert table with delicious options for guests. Give your wedding pie ideas and preferences to your local bakery and see what you can put together for your special day.

Bundt cakes

Bundt cakes are made with an extra moist recipe due to the unique shape of the bundt pan. The specialized pan bakes a delicious, crispy outside crust while leaving the inside of the cake soft. The interesting shape of bundt cakes can support heavy, creamy icing that makes for a beautiful and tasty dessert. You can also include fruits and other toppings on your bundt cake to suit your wedding theme.

Mixed dessert table

If you’ve got a sweet tooth and prefer a variety of desserts, you may want to look into a mixed dessert table. This option gives your guests the most choices for their final course. Your dessert table can include a mix of cupcakes, cookies, pies, fruit tarts, sweet pastries, chocolate covered fruit, or brownies. This option guarantees there is a dessert for every guest’s sweet tooth on your wedding day.
