Wedding

When it comes to weddings, most people can’t help but picture a large, white wedding cake, but there’s no reason you have to be tied to tradition. Explore these tasty alternatives to a towering cake and make your celebration your own.

 

Go small. Choose individually-sized cupcakes, as this way you don’t have to choose between chocolate or vanilla. These fun, bite-sized desserts can be just as classy as wedding cakes and can be displayed in a decorative cupcake tree.

 

Nothing says summer like ice cream. Give guests the chance to make their own ice cream sundaes with a decadent ice cream bar. Choose toppings that match your color scheme for a playful alternative to cake.

 

Try cookies. Choose between large single-serving cookies — think giant, decorated sugar cookies — or offer an assortment of bite-sized treats. Or combine the best of cookies and ice cream with a make-your-own ice cream sandwich bar.

 

For something slightly classier, order a chocolate fondue fountain. These impressive centerpieces are customizable—you choose the chocolate and toppings — but can be a bit messy depending on how many guests you have.

 

Make your day your own, starting with dessert, and have a truly sweet celebration.
