Gone are the days when couples opt for just the traditional wedding cake, or even a wedding cake at all! If you decide that cake isn’t for you (which is totally ok!), there are plenty of other desserts that can be considered Wedding Cake Alternatives. Let’s start with the origin of the wedding cake and cutting of the cake. It was made to be the first “task”, if you will, that you complete as a married couple. Time has evolved this tradition into including other things than just cake, so we’ve seen. You don’t like cake and want to feed each other brownies? No problem! We’ve gathered some Wedding Cake Alternatives that might just hit your sweet tooth 😉 

Experiences: Much like the wedding cake, there are other dessert options that can steal the show with their display. Consider incorporating a donut wall into your decor. Or have your favorite ice cream truck pull up at the end of dinner to serve your guests. Don’t forget to snag your custom-chosen flavor(s), too! This one might just be the yummiest of the Wedding Cake Alternatives (iykyk).

Keeping the ‘cake shape’: We’re sure you’ve seen the classic cupcake tower before, but have you seen a cookie or brownie tower before? These are much like the “shape” of a cake, but with a twist! You can still include a topper, much like the traditional wedding cake decor, but each piece is already cut for your guests to grab. We love the fun twist on this somewhat traditional idea.

Displays: If you don’t want to draw much attention with an eye-popping gimmick, or have anything remotely related to the shape of cake, then this option of wedding cake alternatives is for you! Think of your differ buffet, but for dessert (hellooooo options!). Your caterer or baker can provide shooters of different mousses or tarts. Having a wedding in the fall or on Pi Day (3/14), think of displaying a bunch of mini pies on a table. Add some minimal floral decor and signage to let your guests know the flavors and let them help themselves! 

As you can see, there are many Wedding Cake Alternatives. You no longer have to have a wedding cake on your big day, especially if you don’t even like cake! It is nice to have something sweet to round out the meal, so we hope you enjoyed getting to know your options.
