Some people just aren't cake people and that is absolutely fine! If you don't want to have a wedding cake then don't have one, and check out these alternatives below. </h2> <p><a href="../Pastel-Rainbow-Romance"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="../blogimages/9823160745/mceu_29831689721653471110177.jpg"></a></p> <p style="text-align: center;">Image from <a title="Wedding Cake Inspiration" href="../Pastel-Rainbow-Romance">Pastel Rainbow Romance</a></p> <p>Cupcakes are a great alternative to wedding cakes. Here's why:</p> <ul> <li> <p>Cupcakes are easy to transport. They're small, making them easier to carry than a large cake.</p> </li> <li> <p>Cupcakes are easy to serve. Most hotels, restaurants and caterers have platters that can hold several dozen cupcakes at once, so you won't have any trouble serving your guests in style!</p> </li> <li> <p>Cupcakes are easy to eat! There's no awkward slicing or cutting involved here—your guests will be able to dig right into their sweet treats while chatting away with each other during the reception.</p> </li> </ul> <h2>Pies</h2> <p>Pie is a classic dessert that can be easily made and transported. If you’re having an outdoor wedding or even a buffet, pies are a great option. You can make them ahead of time, refrigerate them until the big day and then serve them chilled or at room temperature as needed.</p> <h2>cheesecake in a jar</h2> <p>Cheesecake is one of the best desserts out there. It's so delicious and can be made in a variety of flavors. If you're looking for an alternative to wedding cake, cheesecake in a jar is a great option.</p> <p>Cheesecakes are easy to make and come in endless flavors, including lemon drop, pumpkin pie, and chocolate chip cookie dough. They're also cheaper than most wedding cakes—especially if you make them yourself!</p> <p>If you're hosting your own wedding or having it at home, serving cheesecake may seem like a daunting task—but don't worry! All you need is some mason jars with lids (or even recycled glass containers from craft stores) plus some wooden sticks for each guest's dessert cupcake holder (or small plates if they're having their own). Once all the ingredients have been assembled into individual servings that look beautiful on display at the reception table area where guests will be eating their meals throughout most hours spent there until midnight rolls around later that evening when everyone finally leaves after dancing off all those calories gained during dinner time which would be worth skipping meals beforehand just so they wouldn't feel hungry again while being awake longer than usual without feeling tired enough yet tired enough though maybe some people might get tired by then too possibly).</p> <h2>Biscuits</h2> <p>Your design of a wedding biscuit can be so personalised to you, your wedding theme and add some extra details all at the same time, it would make a truly versatile wedding treat! They can also be individually wrapped if your gests aren't going to eat them immediately so is a nice takeaway for the following day. </p> <p>You can also experiment with different combinations of flavours, or even making an ice cream sandwich —some good options include peanut butter and chocolate, mint chocolate chip, or caramel swirl (my personal favorite). If your wedding venue has access to fancy equipment like ice cream makers and waffle irons, even better! These tools will allow you to create unique shapes or presentations for each cookie sandwich.</p> <h2><a href="../Black-bridal-wear-for-a-statement-wedding"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="../blogimages/9823160745/mceu_89537864111653470981736.jpg"></a></h2> <p style="text-align: center;">Image from <a title="Wedding Cake Inspiration" href="../Black-bridal-wear-for-a-statement-wedding">Black bridalwear for a statement wedding</a></p> <h2>Instead of a wedding cake, you can have a wedding pie or donuts.</h2> <p>Besides cupcakes, you might consider doughnuts instead of a traditional cake. They're also easy on the eyes since there's no icing involved! Donuts on sticks make for an adorable presentation for guests who want a sweet treat but don't want anything too heavy or too dry (sorry, regular doughnuts).</p> <p>Another option is cheesecake in jars--perfect if you have lots of people coming to your reception that aren't necessarily big fans of sweets. Plus it makes for great leftovers! If you'd rather go all out with something different than just plain old cream cheese frosting though then try some individual cakes instead - these can be made from scratch or bought premade ready for decoration depending on whether time is limited or not (and how much money is being spent). These are great because they come in almost any flavor imaginable which means even those picky eaters at weddings can be satisfied without feeling left out while still enjoying their own unique experience too.</p> <p><a href="../Welsh-sparkle-at-Glynngynwydd-Wedding-Barn-&-Cottages"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="../blogimages/9823160745/mceu_66630822041653471738844.jpg"></a></p> <p style="text-align: center;">Image from <a title="Wedding Cake Inspiration" href="../Welsh-sparkle-at-Glynngynwydd-Wedding-Barn-&-Cottages">Welsh sparkle at Glynngynwydd Wedding Barn & Cottages</a> </p> <h2>Individual cakes</h2> <p>A great alternative to wedding cakes are individual cakes. These are fantastic for those who want to have a variety of flavours, or even different flavours for different parts of the day. For instance, you could have red velvet cake for dinner and chocolate chip cookies for dessert! This way everyone gets what they want and there is no need to worry about leftover cake (which happens all too often with traditional wedding cakes).</p> <p>Individual cakes also give you an opportunity to be creative with presentation. If you're looking at different options but aren't sure which one would work best, why not try out a few on your own? It will help you decide if this option is right for your event before going forward in any other way!</p> <p><a href="../Pastel-Rainbow-Romance"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="../blogimages/9823160745/mceu_21874199831653471139402.jpg"></a></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="../Rock-and-Roll-Weddings"><img src="../blogimages/9823160745/mceu_51229764051653472028508.jpg" width="1156" height="772"></a></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="../Til-death-us-do-part"><img src="../blogimages/9823160745/mceu_46885315461653472063562.jpg"></a></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="../Dogs-at-weddings"><img src="../blogimages/9823160745/mceu_21905447771653472120286.jpg" width="1152" height="770"></a></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="../Curiouser-and-curiouser"><img src="../blogimages/9823160745/mceu_81453948191653472281791.jpg"></a></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="../Ally-and-Noahs-Celestial-Dream"><img src="../blogimages/9823160745/mceu_806130916121653472382239.jpg"></a></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="../Curiouser-and-curiouser"><img src="../blogimages/9823160745/mceu_831021502101653472306680.jpg" width="1151" height="1151"></a></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="../Vegas-Baby"><img src="../blogimages/9823160745/mceu_26320486131653472692365.jpg" width="1143" height="763"></a></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="../Curiouser-and-curiouser"><img src="../blogimages/9823160745/mceu_75557494111653472322134.jpg"></a></p> <p style="text-align: center;"> </p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Photographers: </strong><a title="Wedding Photographer" href="http://www.lawlessrose.co.uk/">Lawless Rose Photography</a> // <a title="Wedding Photographer" href="https://www.markhortonphotos.com/">Mark Horton Photos</a> // <a title="Wedding Photographer" href="http://www.pixbyvix.com/">Pix by Vix</a> // <a title="Wedding Photographer" href="http://www.steelandoak.co/">Steel & Oak</a> // <a title="Wedding Photographer" href="https://www.facebook.com/ChiaraFulgoniPhotography/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chiara Fulgoni</a> and <a title="Wedding Photographer" href="https://www.tomjeavonsphotography.co/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tom Jeavons</a> // <a title="Wedding Photographer" href="https://www.louiseleanor.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Louise Eleanor Photography</a> // <a title="Wedding Photographer" href="http://www.alisonwonderland.photography/">Alison Wonderland Photography</a> // <a title="Wedding Photographer" href="http://www.francescacheckley.com/">Francesca Checkley</a> // <a title="Wedding Photographer" href="http://www.dazephotography.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daze Photography & Film</a></p>` let parser = new DOMParser() let _document = parser.parseFromString($string, "text/html") let ele = _document.getElementsByTagName("IMG") for(let i = 0; i < ele.length; i++) { let wrapper = _document.createElement('a'); wrapper.href = ele[i].src wrapper.setAttribute('data-fancybox', 'gallery'); let myImg = ele[i] wrapper.appendChild(myImg.cloneNode(true)); myImg.parentNode.replaceChild(wrapper, myImg); } let mainEle = document.getElementById("posttext") mainEle.appendChild(_document.getElementsByTagName("BODY")[0]) </script> </body> </html>
