There are countless alternatives to wedding cake that can be equally special and delicious.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for some fresh inspiration for your <\/span>wedding dessert<\/span>, keep scrolling. We\u2019re sharing our list of can\u2019t-miss, must-have, all-time favorite <\/span>wedding cake alternatives<\/span>.<\/span>
\n<\/p>\n

20 Alternatives to Wedding Cake to Serve at Your <\/b>Wedding Reception<\/b><\/h2>\n

Yes, your <\/span>big day<\/span> is on the way, but maybe you don\u2019t want a big <\/span>traditional wedding cake<\/span>. Explore some of our favorite alternatives to wedding cake \u2014 from <\/span>donut walls<\/span> and pie tables to sweet <\/span>waffles and <\/span>cheese towers.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. <\/b>Cupcake<\/b> Tower<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Alternatives<\/p>\n

That classic tiered look doesn\u2019t have to be limited to a <\/span>traditional wedding cake<\/span>. Why not build your tiers out of <\/span>cupcakes<\/span> instead? Enter the <\/span>cupcake<\/span> tower \u2014 a wonderful tiered creation of <\/span>cupcakes<\/span> or mini <\/span>cupcakes<\/span> on a <\/span>cake stand<\/span>. You could even add mini <\/span>cake toppers<\/span> to each one for extra charm.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. <\/b>Macaron Tower<\/b><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re hoping to serve something a little more modern (but still want to make a visual statement) for your <\/span>wedding celebration<\/span>, go for a tower of <\/span>macarons<\/span>. Even the most delicate of <\/span>macarons<\/span> can be beautifully incorporated into a stunning display. For the biggest impact, choose <\/span>macarons<\/span> in pastel tones or vibrant hues to match your<\/span> wedding colors<\/strong><\/span><\/a> or theme.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. <\/b>Donut Wall<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Alternatives<\/p>\n

Glazed, frosted, or just the hole, there\u2019s no wrong way to eat a <\/span>doughnut<\/span>! Why not incorporate all your favorite types into one stunning display? The <\/span>donut wall<\/span> remains a popular wedding trend for a reason \u2014 it\u2019s one of the tastiest alternatives to wedding cake that\u2019s easy to enjoy and doubles as a wedding decor piece. We especially love this idea for <\/span>boho weddings<\/a><\/strong> or pastel weddings, alongside a <\/span>pastel wedding invite<\/a><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. <\/b>Brownie<\/b> Stack<\/b><\/h3>\n

If a <\/span>cupcake<\/span> tower isn\u2019t calling you, how about a <\/span>brownie<\/span> stack instead? The principle is the same, but instead of tiers of <\/span>cupcakes<\/span> you have stacks or towers of delicious, freshly baked <\/span>brownies<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. <\/b>Cake Pops<\/b><\/h3>\n

Keep things light and encourage guests to mingle while they sample finger-friendly <\/span>cake pops<\/span>. This is a <\/span>fun alternative<\/span> to wedding cake that bypasses the expense and time involved in designing (and cutting) a traditional tiered wedding cake.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Sweet Pie Table<\/b><\/h3>\n

Serving a variety of pie flavors\u2014like apple, cherry, pumpkin, or chocolate cream\u2014will guarantee there\u2019s something for everyone at your wedding. It\u2019s also a fun way to tie your dessert into your<\/span> wedding theme<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, especially if it\u2019s a <\/span>whimsical wedding<\/a><\/strong> or a farm-inspired celebration. Keep in mind that fun-size portions (like these<\/span> mini wedding pies<\/a><\/strong>) will allow your guests to try more than one flavor.<\/span><\/p>\n

7. <\/b>Croquembouche<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Alternatives<\/p>\n

This <\/span>French<\/span>-inspired dessert is an ideal choice if you want something sweet that isn\u2019t cake. A <\/span>croquembouche<\/span> is made by creating a tower of choux pastry buns in a cone shape, surrounded by caramel threads. It\u2019s tasty, and makes a real impact on your <\/span>dessert table<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

8. <\/b>Cannoli<\/b>\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

This traditional <\/span>Italian<\/span> dessert from Sicily is a <\/span>great alternative<\/span> to traditional wedding cake. Boasting a sweet, creamy filling, these fried tube-shaped pastries might be less formal but they\u2019re certainly no less delectable or beautiful.<\/span><\/p>\n

9. <\/b>Cinnamon Rolls<\/b><\/h3>\n

These tasty treats aren’t reserved for breakfast alone. Cinnamon rolls can be a <\/span>crowd-pleaser<\/span> at weddings too! <\/span>They\u2019re a perfect<\/span> choice for a<\/span>\u00a0brunch<\/strong> wedding<\/strong><\/span><\/a> or if you want to infuse your celebration with <\/span>fall wedding ideas<\/a><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

10. Gingerbread House<\/b><\/h3>\n
\"Winter

Matching invite:<\/span> Winter Blues Save the Date<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re hosting a<\/span>\u00a0winter wedding<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, why not add an extra sprinkle of joy with gingerbread? Craft an incredible gingerbread house as a stunning showpiece and serve individual gingerbread cookies to your guests. You could even offer mini gingerbread house kits as <\/span>wedding favors<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

11. Mini <\/b>Cheesecakes<\/b><\/h3>\n

While some would argue that you can have a <\/span>traditional wedding cake<\/span> that\u2019s also a <\/span>cheesecake<\/span>, we think they\u2019re different enough to deserve a spot on this list. Swap the usual sponge or fruit cake for a lighter <\/span>cheesecake<\/span> and get ready for a tangy-yet-sweet twist on <\/span>dessert<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

12. Sweet <\/b>Waffles<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Waffle<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re hosting a mid-morning wedding or simply love breakfast food (we understand!), a <\/span>waffle<\/span> bar or <\/span>waffle<\/span> cake are an ideal alternative to wedding cake. This <\/span>dessert option<\/span> is not too sweet and delightfully fluffy. Your guests will love getting to choose their own adventure with a variety of toppings like <\/span>fresh fruit<\/span>, whipped cream, and maple syrup.<\/span><\/p>\n

13. Popsicles<\/b><\/h3>\n

Add a playful or tropical twist to your post-ceremony sweets with a popsicle bar. Invite your favorite ice cream truck along with a selection of unusual or traditional flavors, or set up your own DIY version with a large cooler and your favorite popsicles. This trend is ideal for a<\/span>\u00a0summer wedding<\/strong><\/span><\/a> and we can\u2019t wait to see more of it.<\/span><\/p>\n

14. <\/b>Rice Krispies Treats<\/b><\/h3>\n

While <\/span>Rice Krispies treats<\/span> are a popular at-home dessert due to their simplicity, they\u2019re also seriously tasty \u2014 and perfect for a<\/span>\u00a0rustic wedding<\/a><\/strong>. Serve up a traditional batch flavored with <\/span>marshmallow<\/span> or chocolate for a relaxed wedding or make these adorable<\/span> pumpkin-shaped Rice Krispies treats<\/a><\/strong> for a fall or<\/span> Halloween wedding<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

15. <\/b>S\u2019mores<\/b><\/h3>\n
\"Mountain

Design: Becky Nimoy Stationery<\/p><\/div>\n

Matching invite:<\/span> Mountain Retreat Invitation<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Gathering everyone outside to watch the stars, fireworks, or hosting an<\/span> outdoor wedding<\/strong><\/span><\/a> beneath a beautiful night sky? Invite guests with a matching<\/span> digital invitation<\/strong><\/span><\/a> and ask them to stay outside and roast <\/span>s\u2019mores<\/span> around the campfire for a cozy way to end the evening. Set up a <\/span>s\u2019mores station with <\/span>graham crackers, <\/span>marshmallows<\/span>, and chocolate to make this tried-and-tested treat a key part of your wedding menu.<\/span><\/p>\n

16. <\/b>Ice Cream<\/b> Bar<\/b><\/h3>\n

Let your guests create their own <\/span>sweet treat<\/span> with a <\/span>DIY<\/span> ice cream<\/span> bar. We love this idea as it\u2019s easy to set up yourself (although you can ask an <\/span>ice cream<\/span> truck or cart to come in and handle it for you). Offer a range of <\/span>ice creams<\/span> and sorbets with plenty of toppings and sprinkles so your guests can make their own sundaes or cones.<\/span><\/p>\n

17. Chocolate <\/b>Mousse<\/b><\/h3>\n

For a <\/span>dessert option<\/span> that works straight after your sit-down meal, try the classic yet always delicious chocolate <\/span>mousse<\/span>. Serve in tall glasses for an elegant feel, with sprinkles of cinnamon or grated chocolate on top \u2014 or in small glasses as part of a buffet-style <\/span>dessert table<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

18. Personalized Cookies<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Person<\/p>\n

Custom sugar cookies are perfect for parties and they\u2019re even better alternatives to wedding cake for your <\/span>big day<\/span>. Celebrate your <\/span>wedding day<\/span> not with a cake but with a beautiful assortment of on-theme sugar cookies in the shapes of mini suits, wedding dresses, floral bouquets, wedding rings, or even wedding cakes!<\/span><\/p>\n

19. <\/b>Meringues<\/b><\/h3>\n

Meringues<\/span> are another classic <\/span>French<\/span> dessert that serves as wonderful alternatives to wedding cake. This whipped <\/span>confection<\/span> is a <\/span>crowd-pleaser<\/span>, favored for its lighter feel than traditional cake. To give it a personal touch, match your dessert to your <\/span>wedding theme<\/span> by adding food coloring to your <\/span>meringues<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

20. Cheese Tower<\/b><\/h3>\n

Last but definitely not least, if you don\u2019t have a <\/span>sweet tooth<\/span> why not try a cheese tower instead? Swap out the tiers of <\/span>cupcakes<\/span> for a selection of bite-sized pieces of different cheeses. (You could also create stunning cheese boards instead.) Offer a range of fromage, from classic sharp cheddar and brie to more adventurous types you love. Don\u2019t want to leave out the sweets completely? You can always punctuate the cheese selections with grapes, dried fruits, and mini cocoa nibs. This is a <\/span>fun alternative<\/span> to wedding cake that we wish more couples embraced!<\/span><\/p>\n

Create Your Dream Day Right Down to the <\/b>Dessert Table<\/b><\/h2>\n
