Cake is the traditional classic dessert at weddings, but if you’re just not excited about that, or want to give your wedding a more unique flair, there are many other options you could try. Check out these great ideas from Pinterest!
Cupcakes
Cupcakes are a beautiful alternative to cake, and can be presented in a variety of ways to suit your wedding. They can also be stacked on a cupcake stand with a miniature cake (a “cutting tier”) on top. This mini cake can be used for your cake cutting ceremony, and then cupcakes distributed to your guests.
Candy bar
Candy bars are great for weddings with colorful and lighthearted themes, or for any wedding where you want something fun and different. If you offer loose candy (like jawbreakers or M&Ms) it’s a great idea to provide small plastic bags so guests can take a small sampling and not have to eat the candies at the table.
Cookie bar
Cookie bars are a definite crowd-pleaser with kids and adults alike! Offer a few varieties and let guests pick their favorites, or include mini paper bags so everyone can take one home!
Dessert bar
Dessert bars are a great way to give your guests a variety of options for their sweet treat. You can include any combination and type of desserts you want! Brownies for the chocolate lover, cookies for the kids, mini cheesecakes or tarts, chocolate covered strawberries, lemon bars, marzipan…the possibilities are endless!
Macarons
Macarons are very popular for weddings where you want a romantic, different dessert option. Macarons are a delicious French sandwich cookie that can be made in just about any flavor. Even better? They can be made in almost any color, too, so you can match your macarons to your wedding color scheme! Whether you stack them in a tower like cupcakes, line them in neat rows on a tray, or offer them in fancy glass jars, they’ll delight your guests and bring a level of elegance to your wedding.
