Let Them Eat… Anything But Cake!
Sure, you can have your cake and eat it too… or you can spice things up on your wedding day by offering a nontraditional dessert! This is one of the wedding trends we’re seeing being carried out by brides and grooms in 2023, especially for those who are hosting smaller weddings where a big, tiered cake doesn’t really make sense. Scroll on for unique ideas to satiate your guests’ sweet tooth on your wedding day.
Doughnut Tower/Wall
Light Creative
Who doesn’t love a good doughnut?! You could serve this sweet confection as a tiered display, or DIY a wall with pegs to hang them on. Doughnuts are also easily customizable—you could even custom order ones with icing in your wedding colors!
Pancake/Crepe Cake
Light Creative
Breakfast for dessert? Don’t mind if we do! Your guests will surely be impressed by a nostalgic tiered stack of pancakes or crepes that can be decorated just as you would a cake—with flowers, fruits, nuts, etc. Just don’t forget to have some syrup on the side!
Brownie Bites
Light Creative
Bite-sized desserts like these brownies in cupcake foil make it easy for guests to grab a treat without breaking from the dance floor for a seated dessert hour. Get creative with toppings like nuts, caramel, crushed granola, and more!
Pie/Pie Shooters
Slice Pie Company
The great thing about pie is that the bride and groom can still do a ceremonial slicing. Plus, with all the pie flavors out there, you know you’ve got tons of options! Pie shooters only up the fun factor even more.
