by Chelsea Leave a Comment

Are you searching for wedding cake alternatives that are delicious and unique? Many brides find themselves in this position, but don’t want to go with the obvious – wedding cupcakes or the “naked” wedding cake. That’s why we’ve gathered up our favorite “not-so-wedding cake” ideas to share with you!

The Cheese “Cake”

Do you and your future husband appreciate a properly aged cheddar or a delicious and flavorful gouda? Then a cheese cake might be perfect for you! We love this idea, combined with plates on each table featuring gourmet crackers, olives, and smoked meats.

Do you love donuts? If you’ve dreamed of a wedding cake created from donuts of all kinds – filled and coated and sprinkled – then this is the cake for you. It’s definitely unique and gives guests a little more choice than the traditional wedding cake.

Gourmet Cookies

For a wedding brunch reception, a pancake wedding cake is not only delicious but absolutely genius. It’s a wonderful wedding cake alternative and gives guests their dose of sweet and sugary combined with a variety of other delicious breakfast foods.

Wedding Pies
