Some people love cake, and others (like myself) just don’t really care for it all that much. If you’re like me, you might be trying to think of a few different ideas for your wedding day dessert that aren’t cake OR cupcakes. Sure, it might be “tradition” to have that over the top, 3+ tier cake that you cut into together for the first time as a married couple, but does it have to be regular ol’ cake? Definitely not! Here’s a list of ideas for you to consider if you’d like something a little out of the ordinary for your wedding day.
Chocolate Mousse
Creamy, chocolatey goodness. You can’t go wrong when you offer this to your guests!
Cheesecake Bars
The BEST part about cheesecake is that you can dress it up any way you want. Raspberry, cherry, chocolate, smores….the possibilities are endless!

Mini Pastries
Create an assortment of choices for your wedding day dessert! Tarts, cream puffs, mousse cups, chocolate covered strawberries, and whatever else your heart desires. Everyone gets something they want, and you don’t have to worry about cake.

Pie
Another fantastic choice with lots of options to choose from. Personally, I love a good french silk pie, but you can make it anything you want. Apple, pumpkin, strawberry rhubarb. So many options!

Donuts
Who doesn’t love a good donut? Get a variety of donuts for your wedding day with classics like chocolate or glazed, or get fancy with special flavors like cereal themes, cheesecake, or anything else you can think of.

Cookies
I don’t think I’ve ever met a person who didn’t love cookies. With 100’s of choices, it’s bound to be a crowd pleaser! From the classic chocolate chip, to the beautifully decorated (and delicious) sugar cookies, it’s a great way to replace that wedding day cake.

Truffles
A variety of flavors all wrapped in chocolate? Yes please! Truffles are an excellent dessert to have on your wedding day, especially if you’re a huge chocolate lover.
