You know what they say, “one cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.” Many brides prefer the traditional wedding cake, although if you are the kind of bride that wants to shake things up, a cake doesn't always cut it. Here are a few ideas for alternative or complementary desserts for the big day.
Cupcakes are a great way to satisfy your guests sweet tooth. The individually packaged cakes are easy to serve as well as pleasing to the eye. Each one contains its own personal touch and design. An array of cupcakes is similar to a cake but does not require the tedious cutting and serving. Some brides incorporate a smaller cake on top of the arrangement of cupcakes to still uphold the cake cutting tradition.
Getting married in the hot summer sun? An ice cream bar may be the perfect chioce for your wedding. Let your guest personally design their own cone by providing a variety of delicious candy and toppings.
Popcorn although isn't the sweetest of treats but it sure is yummy. Popcorn buckets with seasoning are good for party favors and snacks for the guest. Weather it is eaten for dessert, throughout the night, or when the guest return home, popcorn is a simple pleasure (especially when there's seasoning and butter involved!)
If you decided to have a traditional cake a good complimentary dessert is hot chocolate. Hot chocolate is an easy way to add something special to dessert time. Set up a table with hot chocolate and cups, make sure to add some bowls with different toppings (marshmallows, candy cane, white chocolate sprinkles.)
A candy bar is pleasing to the eye... and also to the kids. It can be set out throughout the entire wedding for those guest that have a sweet tooth. Candy can serve as a party favor as well as a way to keep the kids occupied while the festivities are happening.
