Wedding Dessert Ideas
July 6th, 2010 | 4 Comments »
Almost everyone loves dessert and has somewhat of a sweet tooth. Whether its cake or candy, a dessert is a must. There are so many different types of desserts that it gives you more options on what you can do. Here are just a few good ideas that may appeal to your guests.
Cupcakes
Cupcakes are great just for a small dessert. Some guests are either full after dinner or just don’t feel like having a huge dessert which is why cupcakes would be a great idea. Their small and they can come in almost any flavor you’d like to have and you can also add any design to them you want. Another plus for choosing cupcakes as your wedding dessert is the price. We all know weddings can be pretty pricey and generally cupcakes are the less expensive option. Cupcakes can also be displayed easier than a cake instead of having to cut each guest a piece they can just grab their own, which also makes it more lighthearted and casual.

Cakes
A wedding cake has always been an important part in the wedding reception because of the cake cutting moment between the bride and the groom. If you, as a couple, are more old fashion and like the traditional cake cutting then choosing a cake for your dessert might be the best way to go. Even though cakes can be pricey at times, you do have a lot of options when it comes to picking out your wedding cake. With as many flavors as there is you can decide to have each tier of your cake to be a different flavor so that each guest can have a choice on what they would like as well as you enjoying your favorite.

Ice Cream Sundae Bar
A sundae bar is not what you would often see at a typical wedding. Having a sundae bar at your wedding reception for dessert can be fun for your guests and add something special to your wedding. With most desserts, the guests do not get to decide exactly what it is that they want, but with a beautiful sundae bar it’s like having an ice cream shop where they decide for themselves. Usually, sundae bars are seen more in summer weddings and each guests gets an ice cream bowl with a choice of flavored ice cream and add their own toppings. You can also include different types of ice creams for them to choose from that may go with your theme. Some of the toppings they could add would be chocolate fudge, chocolate chips, gummies, fruit toppings, and whipped cream. Companies like the Classic Sweet Shoppe can drape, light-up, add color, and beautify your candy or sundae bars to add to your decor and have it match your theme and wedding colors


Candy/ Dessert Buffet
What is more fun than having a candy and dessert buffet at your wedding reception?! When it’s almost the end of the night where guests are getting tired from dancing, keep the party going with a buffet full of all sorts of candy and desserts for them. Candy buffets are great because they have a variety of different candies where you can take a bag full of whatever it is that you like. You can also match the colors of the candies to your wedding colors. They look good as well as taste good. Dessert buffets are also a neat idea because you can have all kinds of desserts like brownies, chocolates, mini cakes/cupcakes, ice cream, etc and the guests can decide according to their own sweet tooth.

Decide on a dessert that you think your guests will enjoy. Be creative with any dessert and guests will love it !
