Some people may say that it’s just not a wedding without the cake, but since you have the control over what goes where on your special day, it’s up to you to decide how to commemorate the occasion!
If you’re not a cake person or want to show off your creative side, there are countless other sweets and baked creations that can be the centerpiece of your wedding reception. Here are a few great ideas we’ve seen at Nanina’s in the Park over the years that could blend in perfectly with your theme, and be a major hit with your guests!
- A tiered cheesecake: Who says that you need one kind of cake? Many couples have decided to take their favorite baked good and turn various varieties into one stunning creation. A tiered cheesecake will take between 4-5 different flavors, arrange them in the shape of a traditional wedding cake and is sure to drop the jaws of everyone in attendance!
- Cupcakes: For a bit more variety and portability, you can’t go wrong with a cupcake tower! This will be a fabulous addition to your reception’s decorative scheme and you can give your guests plenty of choices to peruse when it’s time for dessert.
- Lollipops: Once again affording you plenty of decorative potential and customization, lollipops are an increasingly trendy choice for couples. Arranging them on a stand in tiers can recreate the classic wedding cake look, and you can use traditional lollipops, cake pops, chocolate-dipped fruit and other sweets to complete the look.
- Donuts: Is there anyone who isn’t overjoyed at the sight of a row of doughnuts? Choose donuts in colors that will match the rest of your decorative layout, and arrange them in a tower shape to make them easily accessible and a perfect backdrop for photos.
- A Dessert Tower: While you could feature one dessert prominently, going for the gusto with a dessert tower is another great way to satiate that sweet tooth! Place a traditional cake on top, and accentuate your tower with cupcakes, cookies and other baked goods that your guests will certainly keep coming back for!
