Bored of Traditional Wedding Cake? Here’s Some Wedding Cake Alternatives

Trying to decide a cake for your wedding? Of course, you want a cake that is as unique as you and your significant other. Those traditional cakes just won’t cut it because obviously you don’t want your wedding cake to be that bland white cake with the common bride and groom toppers. It must be different, because you only get married once, right? So here are some Wedding Cake Alternatives.

Well, deciding a cake doesn’t have to be limited to the color, shape and ingredients anymore. Why not go for something completely obscure, something that will leave your guests remembering this event for a life time. The secret? No cake. You heard me, no cake! Instead opt for Wedding Cake Alternatives, which is currently the latest wedding trend.

Some Wedding Cake Alternatives to make your wedding stand out:

Instead of cutting the cake, imagine cutting a huge donut, or a huge cupcake. How fun would that be? How about a chocolate bar, instead? There are many alternatives that you can opt for in place of getting a simple white cake. Here are few options listed below, but if you have a wild imagination, go crazy with whatever you can come up with.

Ice cream Cake

One of the most popular alternatives to cake is ice cream; and let’s face it, who doesn’t like ice cream. You can pick your favourite flavour to make the cake from, or if you can’t decide one flavour, combine the groom’s and bride’s favourite flavours to make a two tier ice cream cake. Alternatively, you can also make a sundae with all your favourite flavours; make a huge sundae cake to serve from, or make a cake display from individual portions. Another benefit of serving ice cream is that it is an easy paring for after dinner.

Cupcakes

Another popular Wedding Cake Alternatives is cupcakes. The advantage of cupcakes is that it allows you to have many different flavours and varieties of cake. It also lets you stand apart from the common and the usual,while not straying too far from the traditional cake.
