Cake Alternatives for Your Wedding: Dessert Inspo!

Though smashing a cake into each other’s faces at your wedding is a blast - or at least it was for me - there are other alternatives to a rich, frosted cake! Check out these alternatives from a Northern Utah Photographer to sub out the traditional wedding day cake!

  1. Mini Cheesecake

This Maine couple opted for a Maine classic dish that included blueberries! These blueberry-lemon mini cheesecakes at their wedding tasted divine and were so cute to serve to their guests!

2. Donuts

Donuts are a great option. They are affordable, filling for your guests, and you can serve them mountain style on trays or have a donut board with posts to hang each donut on!

3. Key Lime Pie

Like a tart treat? These individualized key lime pies are clean and hassle free for your guests!

4. Drink Your Dessert

Hot chocolate bars are always a great idea for the fall and winter months. They keep your guests bellies warm and full!

5. A Little Bit of This, A Little Bit of That

Do you live for variety? Lots of catering companies will have a dessert spread for your guests so everyone’s sweet tooth can be satisfied!

6. Still want the Cake without the Hassle? Get the cupcakes!

You could still cut into a mini cake for you and you partner while serving cupcakes to your guests. They are less mess and you don’t have to cut slices of a cake for everyone!
