Oh So Pretty Cakes

You can do a whole bunch of things with your wedding cake these days. Bakers can create just about anything. AlthoughI feel they should be simple and reflect the theme of the wedding, you can go nuts if you want. Even if you’re not having a cake its nice to look at some different options. Here are a few I came across I think are fabulous.

Turn Dessert Hour into Happy Hour

Traditionally, you would see a cake at a wedding and most people choose this option. There are tons of different ways to make the cake unique and go along with your theme. However, nowadays its time for a change. Get creative and give your guests something to get excited about. Not the same thing they have seen since 1990. Honestly, I don’t even eat the cake at weddings anymore and I hardly am impressed. I know everyone has a different design aesthetic but its time for a little fun, don’t you think?

More and more you are seeing even better ways to showcase the dessert hour. From cupcakes and pies to a full on candy bar. These usually end up successful. My husband and I opted to go the cupcake route and had tasty treats that were out of this world delicious. We chose to go with chocolate, vanilla, red velvet and lemon and I swear everyone attacked them! We got so many compliments which made us extremely happy. Georgetown Cupcake made our dessert hour an unforgettable one for sure.

BHLDN just posted a cool little story on taking the path less traveled and choosing other options for your wedding dessert. Here are a few of my faves:

Here are some more great ideas and beautiful cakes I hope will inspire you. Remember to always have fun and never let wedding planning get you down. Being to serious when it comes to decor and your theme will clearly show to all your guests. Weddings are supposed to be a fun celebration with the people you love, not an event for the Queen of England. Let loose, get creative and make it unforgettable.
