Let them eat cake! Or, maybe not. Are you looking for a
unique alternative to the traditional tiered wedding cake? Cupcakes and cake
pops are popular alternatives, but here are some other ideas you may not have considered.
Cheese tower – Cheese towers have been popular in England for some time; why not bring the trend stateside? A cheese tower is a fantastic alternative for receptions that slant more towards a cocktail party than a sit down dinner. Cheese is perfect for guests to nibble on throughout the event.
Ice Cream – If you are having a summer wedding, ice cream is a fun option. Try setting up a do-it-yourself ice cream bar with various toppings. Or contact your favorite local ice cream shop; many have carts they will bring on site to serve your guests.
Pie Table – Wouldn’t a table full of pumpkin, pecan and other pies be a great idea for a fall wedding? For other times of the year, pies made from in season fruits or cream pies are good options.
Almost
any treat in a tiered shape or on tiered plates – Cereal bar treats, doughnuts,
alcohol…just about anything can be a wedding “cake” if it is shaped as such.
Check out Poptastic Bride for inspiration.
And
just because it is an alternative to cake doesn’t mean you can’t have a topper!

Perhaps
you and your partner have a favorite treat you can incorporate into your
reception’s dessert. Don’t be afraid to try something other than the
traditional wedding cake
