Dessert Ideas for Weddings

A wedding is considered to be incomplete without wedding desserts. Whether it's the wedding cake, cookies, ice creams, etc. desserts are loved and enjoyed by people of all ages. Since desserts hold an essential part in a wedding, every couple wants to provide a memorable and inspiring dessert station that will encourage their guests to join in the celebrations and create a lighthearted and fun atmosphere.

Unique Wedding Dessert Ideas

• While one can't say when the tradition of a wedding cake began, it's normally considered as a ritual of blessing the newly married couple with prosperity, fertility and happiness. However, there are many people for whom it may not be on the top of the list of favorite desserts and so the couples these days are opting out of serving a traditional wedding cake in their weddings. Cupcakes on stacked tiers with the top tier as a small cake can be an elegant alternative.
• For couples who don't want to feel obligated to have a four-tiered, fondant-covered wedding cake, individual cakes in the shape of an open Tiffany-style box stuffed with cream and berries or an inquisitive chocolate fountain, shaped like a three-tiered cake can be a stylish dessert option.
• You can set up bowls having toppings, like, sprinkles, fruits, sauces, mini candy sweets, chocolate flakes, creams, etc. for your guests so that they can create their own ice cream sundaes with these toppings.
• Out of many unique wedding dessert ideas for kids one is to set up a cookie decorating station which will not only entice their taste buds but will also keep the kids amused. Read more on dessert recipes for kids.

• Bread pudding made up of brioches or croissants can be one of the scrumptious dessert ideas for large groups of guests. Your caterer can come up with different flavors in the bread pudding, like, apple, chocolate, raspberry, peach, etc.
• You can provide your guests a dipping station for fruits, like, strawberries, apples, etc. where they can choose to dip their favorite fruit in milk, dark or white chocolate sauce, whipped cream and sugar.

• Since desserts are not just about wedding cakes, couples are opting for dessert bars that comprise various mini-desserts for guests to choose from. These wedding dessert bar ideas are not only trendy but are also cost effective.
