The dessert(s) you serve should be ones that you and your partner love, after all it is your wedding. Can’t decide on just one dessert? Offer a dessert bar with multiple options. Your wedding is one place you can have your cake and eat it too!\u00a0CupcakesA handheld version of a slice of cake, cupcakes are easier \u00a0and sometimes a less expensive alternative than a large cake depending on how many mouths you have to feed. \u00a0and nowadays bakeries can get pretty creative with flavors, so offering a smorgasbord of different falvors to make you and your guests happy is easily done. \u00a0Photo by DeAnda Photography via Equally WedPieCake-like desserts are not always for everyone. Flaky crusts or fruit filling your things? A pie for dessert option might be for you, and you can even have a cutting ceremony the way you would for a cake. Serve your favorite flavors or offer a variety for guests to choose. \u00a0You can serve pie slices, mini pies or even bite-sized pies. \u00a0If you like the idea of food on a stick but don’t want cake pops, don’t worry, there’s always the pie pop alternative.\u00a0Photo via PinterestIce cream sandwichesHandheld ice cream you can eat on the dance floor. An ice cream sandwich gives you the cold, sweet taste of ice cream while still filling your cake or cookie craving. Serve from a grocery store box, or let family and friends make their own with an assortment of cookies and ice cream to choose from.\u00a0Photo by Sandra Costello via Equally WedBite-sized treatsCookies, creme puffs, mini eclairs,donuts, the list is endless. If you like desserts, a dessert bar is the way to go. Mini desserts can be an alternative to cake or an addition if you want to keep your guests fed and energized throughout the night. This is a great budget-friendly dessert idea as creme puffs and mini eclairs are typically available in the freezer section of your local big box store.\u00a0Photo via Le Petit ChefIce cream sundae barA childhood favorite, let guests smother their favorite ice cream in whipped cream, sprinkles and a cherry on top. Add in candy for an extra sugary treat. There are tons of adorable ways to serve ice cream, so find one that fits your theme. Vintage ice cream truck anyone?\u00a0Photo by Baked Bree via Red TricycleCake popsA bite-sized alternative to cake, these are great for dessert or to add a sweet touch to cocktail hour. An quick, grab and go dessert, cake pops are the perfect snack to grab while taking dance floor break (or even eat on the dance floor thanks to their convenient stick).\u00a0Cake pops come in a wide variety of different cake and icing flavors so if you\u00a0and your partner can’t settle the chocolate versus vanilla debate, these are an excellent compromise.\u00a0Photography by Photomuse via Equally WedFruit barLooking to skip the sweets altogether? Serve up a delicious seasonal fruit bar. If you want just enough sugar to curb your sweet tooth, add a chocolate fondue fountain to let guests dip their fruit.Photo by Blue Mason Photos via Magnet StreetWant to have a traditional cake-cutting but don’t want to get a cake to feed all of your guests? Order (or make) a small cake big enough for you and your spouse to cut ceremoniously (and maybe smush into each other’s faces).\u00a0"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Wedding cake alternatives","item":"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wedding-cake-alternatives\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
