If you’re in the process of thinking about the food you’ll have on your wedding day, you may be feeling a little overwhelmed. Putting together the menu for your reception is definitely a big undertaking, so let’s go over some things you can consider if you want to stray away from the traditional wedding dessert options.
Non-Traditional Wedding Dessert
There are so many different options you can consider if you’re not loving the idea of a traditional wedding cake. Feel free to take a look at the following options and tailor them to make them perfect for your big day.
Cupcakes
Not wanting a traditional cake but still love cake itself? Why not choose cupcakes?! There are so many great benefits of choosing cupcakes. One of the biggest benefits is that you can order multiple flavors and your guests can then choose the flavors that they want.
Another big benefit of cupcakes is that they won’t require any cake cutting or portioning. This can be a great way to keep things clean and organized, so consider if this could be the right choice for you.
Donuts
Who doesn’t love donuts?! Donuts are delicious and they give you the opportunity to have a wide variety. If you work with a specialty baker, then you may be able to have them design donuts that are specific to your wedding. This can be a super fun way to bring an extra special touch to your wedding, so consider if it could be the right choice for you.
Cake Sampler
Just because you’re not choosing a traditional wedding cake doesn’t mean that you can’t have wedding cake in some capacity! Consider having a wedding cake sampler available for your guests. This can be a great way to make sure that your guests have access to a variety of flavors.
Another reason why we love this idea is that it can reduce the amount of decisions that you need to make. If you have decision fatigue during the planning process (which is totally normal) then a wedding cake sampler is a great way to take something off your plate and reduce the amount of decisions you need to make.
Cotton Candy
This definitely isn’t a conventional option, but that’s not a bad thing! If you love cotton candy, consider if it could be the right addition to your wedding. You may choose to have other desserts in addition to cotton candy, but it can be an unforgettable dessert choice your guests won’t be able to stop talking about.
Buffet
At this point, you’re probably realizing just how many different non-traditional dessert options that are available for your wedding day. If you’re having trouble choosing between the different options, then you should consider choosing a buffet. This means that you’ll be able to choose a few different options that you love, instead of just choosing one dessert for your big day.
Have fun choosing your wedding dessert and don’t be afraid to be unique!
