Cake is the classic wedding dessert, and while it is delicious and there are lots of ways to make it unique, it can also be fun to embrace other dessert ideas. Dessert tables at weddings are one of the best parts, so have fun with it and get creative!
1. Candy

Who doesn’t love some good old fashioned candy after hours of drinking, dancing, and having fun. You can also make it more personal by featuring your favorite candy, featuring candy from your childhood or hometown, or even by renaming candy after you or your bride/groom!
2. Croquembouche

Cupcakes are great because it is really just a bunch of hand-held pieces of cake! The best part about this option is the variety you can offer to your guests. You can have a lot of different flavors, whether it be simple chocolate or more creative flavors like champagne.

4. Donuts

Donuts are not just for breakfast! These delicious fried treats are perfect for a wedding dessert or late night treat for your guests. Instead of having to get a plate of cake and eat it back at the table, you and your guests can grab a donut and go right back onto the dance floor.
5. Ice Cream

You can get as creative with this dessert idea as you want. Whether you have some fancy affogato served to your guests (italian ice cream with espresso poured over it) or a classic self-serve sundae bar, your guests will be more than pleased. You even include all the flavors and toppings that you want!
6. Popsicles or “Booze”-sicles

Let’s face it, some outdoor weddings are HOT. If your planning on having a spring or summer wedding, especially if it’s going to be somewhere like California, popsicles are the perfect cold treat to cool everyone down after some time on the dancefloor. If you want to make it even more fun, include some “booze”-sicles or alcohol-infused popsicles that taste like your favorite cocktails. Margarita popsicles? Yes please!
7. S’mores

S’mores are the perfect treat for a fall or winter wedding to add a cozy flare. You can offer s’mores kits to your guests or provide a decked out s’mores bar with different types of marshmallows and chocolate for your guests to choose from. S’mores are such a classic and will make everyone feel like they are gathered around the campfire! You can even include some hot chocolate or cider to add to the warm and cozy vibe.
8. Mini Tarts

Mini tarts and pies are not only adorable, but are also a delicious dessert option for your wedding! You can also offer multiple styles and flavors if you so choose. Berries and cream are classic and go great with an outdoor summer wedding, while apple and pecan tarts are lovely options for a fall or winter reception!
