When it comes to dessert, you really can’t go wrong in our book. We love the fact that so many couples are opting out of the traditional wedding cake and seeking unique and exciting alternatives to the classic multi-tiered sweets. From cake pops to crepe cakes, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite ideas for wedding cake alternatives that are sure to make your mouth water and imagination run wild!
1. Donuts. We’ve never met a donut we didn’t like, so this wedding cake alternative is especially enticing. Stack them, spread them, or put them on a stick, and your guests will be heading straight for the dessert table.
2. Cannolis. Mamma Mia! This idea is so fun for couples hoping to play up their Italian heritage, Northern roots, or that just love a good cannoli. And there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that.
3. Pie Tables. This idea is sweet as pie! Perfect for anyone looking to infuse a little rustic charm into their wedding day, a pie table makes an awesome wedding cake alternative spread where every guest is sure to find something that they love.
4. Cake Pops. The cake pop trend is sweeping the nation, and for good reason. Who doesn’t love food on a stick? The best part about these sweet balls of goodness is that they can be made in many flavors, including cheesecake and cookie dough. Yum.
5. Crepe Cakes. Oui, Oui we love this idea! Crepes are the perfect mix of rustic provincial style and French elegance. While the shape is familiar, the flavor is something all it’s own. A tower of light and fluffy crepes sounds tres chic!
6. Dessert in a Jar. The #1 wedding trend of 2015? When in doubt, put it in a mason jar. These adorable single serving treats make an amazing display and great wedding cake alternative! The best part? Put a lid on them and send them home as favors!
7. Dessert Displays. Can’t decide which is your favorite? A dessert table is just for you. Create a decadent display of all of your favorite sweet treats and let guests decide which they love. You can also display a small cake for you and your groom to slice (or smash!) during the reception – the perfect compromise!
