3 Fun Alternatives to Serving a Traditional Wedding Cake

A Cupcake Tower

A cupcake tower is a great alternative to traditional wedding cakes and can have an edge when it comes to picky eaters. You can mix and match various flavors so that there is something for everyone. Moreover, they can become an instant decor and focal points for your reception table. Simply tailor your cupcake tower by using particular colored icing or flavors to complement your wedding theme. Similarly, you can do a macaroon tower if you desire.

Pie Buffet

A pie table is not just a fun alternative to wedding cakes, it can also get budget friendly. If there are great pie bakers in your circle of family and friends, request each one to contribute a different flavored treat. If not, you can always outsource the job to a bakery specializing in the task.

Candy table

This self service alternative is guaranteed to win full points with your guests. To make your candy table visually appealing, add decorative signs to let everyone know what’s what. Alternatively, you can put them in fun containers in a mix of heights, for instance a low bowl shaped dessert dish for truffles and a cake stand for marshmallows. What’s more? Put out little bags or boxes so that your guests can scoop up some treats to go, and you have got favors covered too!
