Wedding Cake vs Dessert

Writer's picture: Marylee MarmerMarylee Marmer

Dessert at a wedding is almost a must have. Your guests are always looking forward to that sweet treat later in the night. While wedding cake has been a long and strong tradition, some couples have recently been leaning towards dessert bars at weddings to provide more options to guests. Check out the following notes on wedding cake vs dessert to see what might be the best choice for you.


Wedding Cake

Wedding cake is one of the most traditional aspects of a wedding. When people think of weddings they think about the cake. Whether it be a multi tiered cake with different flavors or a single layer small cutting cake for just the two of you, cake has always been around at weddings. Sticking with the tradition, a tiered wedding cake can provide all your guests a slice of delicious cake. However, this can get costly as you account for larger guest numbers. Choosing just a small cutting cake for the two of you can keep with the tradition, but also give you the option to do something else that could be unique.

Desserts

Dessert bars have become a new popular trend at weddings. These can provide your guests with multiple bite sized options for dessert like cookies, brownies, tartlets, etc. You can also choose to have all one type of dessert like cupcakes or dessert shooters. With dessert bars you can really explore different items to offer to your guests. The downside is that sometimes there can be too many options which can become overwhelming to guests. It can also be hard to account for the number to provide as you don’t know which ones are going to be more popular.

Ultimately the choice is up to you as to whether you would like to have desserts or cake at your wedding. Whatever you decide, we’re sure it’ll be sweet!
