Everyone wants
to be different! It’s chic, classy and
innovative. Wedding cake alternatives
and fun dessert ideas will often add uniqueness and interest to your wedding
reception and life celebrations. Little touches here and there never hurt your
guest’s memory of your big day!
It frightens
me, when I meet ladies at a bridal shows who say…. “My sister is handling my wedding or my girl friend just got
married and she is going to coordinate it for me or mom says, we’ve married off
three others, we know who to call.” My
inner question is…. Are you getting your wedding, or her old one? Same vendors, same wedding site, same style,
food, dessert, etc…Tell us how you feel about this on the blog.
You Are You!
Remember that, and don’t get locked out of how you and your intended reflect it
on your wedding day. You will find many of my weddinglinks blogs endear you to
being your own unique self.
Cakes are
glorious and very photogenic! The
ingredients offer a multitude of choices and creative icing decor. The groom’s cake is an excellent addition
and a great tradition to your cake table. Whether butter cream or fondant, they
look and appear exquisite in the photos and an amazing centerpiece to your
reception room. We see, carrot and
spice cakes plus the red cakes taking a spotlight at receptions. Photos by DUphotography.com
I personally
love the beauty of a wedding cake, excitement of a birthday cake, etc. But I love to bake pies, eat pies and share
pie recipes. Just a knack picked up
from mom. Guess what? Just met a gal
who provides a pie service for weddings and events. Men Love Pies!!! So if you are considering doing dessert
stations for your event or wedding reception, you might consider this.
A while back we
discussed different desserts or reception confections. We concluded there are
many new and exciting ideas to add sweetness to your celebration. You will find links on WeddingLinks.com and we would love your
input on this subject. Many ideas for dessert we have seen so far include:
- Cupcake
Tiers
- Various
Candy Treats to pile on your plate or cup
- Dove Bars
- Ice Cream
Cakes
- Make Your
Own Ice Cream Sundaes
- Pie Bars
- Chocolate
Fountains with fruit, cookes and marshmallows
- Frozen
Yogurt Bars
- Vegan, Gluten Free and
Sugar Free Desserts
- Fudge Brownies
- Frozen Cheese Cake Bars
- Personal Photo-Enhanced Icings
- Personalize initials on the cake
Along with the many exciting
traditional cakes and ethnic wedding desserts we are finding, couples want
crème brulee or baked Alaska served.
Elegance and luxury do turn the corner on these desserts as they must be
served by the staff in a grand presentation style.
Talk it over, see what you
both want served. Find a tried and true
professional baker or dessert maker to complete this for you.
Believe me, I have seen cakes fall apart because great aunt Mary did not
know the dynamics of a tiered cake, or the best friend did not understand you
cannot set a cake out in the sun for three hours prior to serving. Most of all – allow your dessert be a
personal signature to your celebration!
