Different Types of Wedding Cakes and Desserts

Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and every detail matters. The wedding cake and dessert selection is one thing that can make your special day even more memorable (and sweet)

With so many options to choose from, how do you decide which one to go for? In this article, we’ll explore the different types of wedding cakes and desserts to help you make the right choice.

Traditional Cakes: Traditional wedding cakes are classic, elegant and timeless. They usually feature multiple tiers, each a different flavor, with simple white icing and adornments such as flowers or lattice work. Traditional cakes are perfect for couples who want a classic feel to their wedding.

Marbled Cakes: Marbled cakes are a perfect choice for couples who want a modern and unique touch to their wedding. They are easy to customize, versatile and can complement many different themes. Marbled cakes usually have several shades of the same color or combine two different colors.

Themed or Non Traditional Cakes: Themed wedding cakes are great for couples who want to showcase their unique interests and personalities. For instance, a couple who both enjoy golfing could have a cake with a miniature golf course on top. Themed cakes are a fun and playful way to incorporate creativity into your wedding. Think beyond the “classics” and go for something fun and creative.

Dessert Tables: If you don’t want to limit your dessert options to just one cake, a dessert table is a great option. This allows you to have a variety of desserts, such as cupcakes, macarons, and cake pops. A dessert table can provide a range of flavors and styles, leaving your guests with a unique and memorable experience.

Dessert Bars: Dessert bars are another great option for couples who want to offer a variety of dessert choices. They usually consist of multiple stations each with different desserts, allowing guests to mix and match as they please. Dessert bars are perfect for those who want to give their guests the freedom to choose their own sweet treats.

Savory Desserts: For couples who want to step away from traditional sweet desserts, savory desserts are a great option. This could include a cheese board or a dessert with a savory component like a spiced apple pie with cheddar crust. Savory desserts are perfect for couples who want to add a unique culinary experience to their wedding.

These are just a few options available to couples looking for the perfect wedding cake or dessert. Whether you want a traditional showstopper or something more experimental and edgy, there are plenty of options available to make your special day even sweeter.

Let’s be honest. If you’re asking yourself, “Do I really need a wedding planner?” you’re already feeling the weight of how complex this day actually is. It’s not just picking out flowers and choosing your favorite signature cocktail. This is a layered, high-stakes, logistically complex event that you only get one shot at.
