Multi-tiered cakes have always been one of the most traditional parts of a wedding celebration - everyone has seen the photo of a bride coyly trying to get away from the groom, attempting to feed her cake. But what if you want to forgo the cake in the face photo and put a new spin on the wedding dessert? There are so many wedding dessert alternatives to a traditional tiered cake; the possibilities are endless!
Go Miniature: Bite-sized desserts are all the rage. Think cupcakes, petit fours, cake pops, macarons. The good thing about going bite-sized is that you can have a variety of flavors and treats, and just about any dessert can be miniaturized. These miniature treats are some of the most popular wedding dessert alternatives for modern couples looking to offer guests a fun and unique experience.
Think About Breakfast: Donuts, pancakes, waffles, think breakfast-style sweet treats. With brunch weddings as a hot trend for 2016, these breakfast treats work perfectly as a wedding cake alternative. Do a donut tower, or a pancake and waffle bar with a variety of toppings and syrups. Chances are, your guests will love having a little breakfast indulgence at night.
Savory: For a true departure from the wedding cake, think about a cheese display (or cheese "cake"!). While it is a little non-traditional, serving cheese for dessert is a great way to incorporate some European flair into your day. Keep it sweet by pairing the cheese with various honeys, jams, and fruits.
