Maybe it’s completely wrong for you to have anything but a wedding cake for dessert!? It’s a long-standing tradition along with the cutting of the cake, but as couples continue to customize their weddings, foregoing certain traditions is quite common. If you’re looking to do something different and memorable (and cake just isn’t your thing), we’ve compiled unique wedding dessert options to try at your own wedding, birthday, or event! These sweets could even be in addition to your cake if you are wanting to provide a lot of options for your friends and family.
Wedding Desserts
Cupcakes
Let’s start easy with some cupcakes. The cake’s beloved child? Whatever it may be, we love the idea of cupcakes. They give you the taste of a cake, without the effort and messiness of full-on cakes. Say goodbye to trying to equally cut the perfect serving size for everyone.
Mini Pies/Cheesecake
A step up from cupcakes is basically any big sweet treat but in its smaller version. For example, pies and cheesecakes are always crowd pleasers. They transition into small desserts very well. Your guests will appreciate you choosing to for bite size pieces as they tend to be less messy. All the phenomenal flavors in one mouthful!
Donuts
Next, for a truly out-of-the-box dessert, try donuts! Because who doesn’t love donuts… or at least say yes when offered one? Donuts are the next best sweet treat from cupcakes. We also love that some weddings make a full wall of them. Guests can just grab and go.
Variety of Desserts
At weddings, we are starting to see couples provide a variety of wedding desserts for guests to choose from. If you are a dessert lover and cannot decide on what dessert to consider, a table of unique wedding desserts may be the option for you. There can be a small two-tier cake for your traditional cake cutting as well as a variety of gooey butter cakes, cookies, brownies, cake pops, doughnut holes, cupcakes, macarons, chocolate-covered Oreos, ice cream, candy.
Final Take
In the end, the decision is up to you. These sweets could even be in addition to your cake if you’re wanting to provide more wedding desserts for your guests! The only reasonable thing left to do next is continuing on your research, and taste test some of these yummy treats! Whatever you decide to go with for your dessert, we’re sure any of these options will leave the guests saying “I wish I thought of that”.
