Wedding Wednesday: Non-Traditional Wedding Cakes
Thursday, October 18, 2012 at 11:44AM We love a spectacular wedding cake as a focal point of a couple's reception, yet, a conventional wedding cake isn't the only way to go. Recently, we have seen a sharp turn away from "traditional" cakes to more personalized desserts that truly illuminate the uniqueness of a couple. If you and your significant other are not into “the wedding cake” or you simply don't like cake there are plenty of other options for your special day.
We had one couple choose a French croquembouche cake for their reception. This is a traditional French dessert made of chocolate and cream filled profiteroles piled high into a cone shaped pyramid and bound together using threads of caramelized sugar. It can be decorated with flowers or ribbon or chocolate ganache and is not only stunning but quite tasty.
Another couple was obsessed with donuts, they even named their dog after the fried dough confectionery! So for their wedding, we constructed a "cake" made out of donuts! It was the talk of the reception.
Other options for your reception could be:
Mini Cakelets - which are just smaller versions of a larger wedding cake. They can be simple or quite elaborate.
A Cupcake Cake - use a tiered cake stand and fill it with beautifully decorated cupcakes.
Macaroon Cake - macaroons are having quite a moment right now. They are small baked cookies that are created in an elaborate variety of colors and flavors.
Whatever dessert you choose to serve on your wedding day, we hope you will make it unique and meaningful to the two of you as a couple! It’s YOUR wedding…do whatever makes you happy!
If you have had a non-traditional wedding cake or have other ideas of alternative “cakes” we would love to hear about it in the comments below!
