There are a few people out there and I for one am one of them who aren’t big fans of Cake. I love the look of cake and think they can be beautifully decorated at weddings but I never touch them myself. As a guest this is fine, I mean occasionally I will tuck into a bit just to be polite but when it comes to my wedding day I don’t want to have a cake to please my guests that I won’t actually touch myself. No I want something to replace my cake that I truly enjoy. A lot of people also might just want to try something different to impress their guests to escape the grasps of traditional cake! Here are a few suggestions of what you could use to replace traditional wedding cake.
The idea behind creating a great idea for an alternative wedding cake is to think of a desert or food you love and then amplify it to create something spectacular. I will take you through two or three of my favourites and hopefully it will leave you feeling inspired!
Many people like the idea of having fruit cake at their wedding. Well if you don’t like cake then why not just have the fruit part. Fruit salad ‘wedding cakes’ are very popular in the summer months as it is a perfect light and refreshing dish. As I said earlier it is not just about the type of desert your have, it is about how spectacular you make it. The picture on the right is a fantastic example of how fruit salad can be presented to be quiet spectacular!
Another take on a tradition cake is cheese cake. No I’m not talking about the sweet American style cake, I’m talking about a cheese . . . cake. For those who love nothing more than a good cheese board then why not get your favourite cheeses and turn them into a magnificent three tiered cake! As you can see from the image in can be quite a classy affair to have a wine and cheese session at your wedding meal. You can cater for a wide range of pallets with different cheese’s maybe cheddar for the children and blue cheese for those a bit more adventurous. Wine and champagne can be a perfect accompany to this desert. Again this is an example of taking an average desert you would eat in restaurants and amplifying it until it matches the magnitude that is your wedding.
How about something nice, simple and a little bit fun. Chocolate fountains are becoming more and more popular at weddings, especially as they are tiered and resemble the shape of a wedding cake. This idea inserts a lot of fun into your wedding and I guarantee the children will absolutely love it!
Finally, you might not be a fan of cake but maybe you go potty over biscuits? I love this cake, it is a very elegant yet gigantic mountain of biscuits. I’m not sure how they cut it? But none the less it looks very impressive. The one thing I would love to know more about this cake, is how its core infrastructure is constructed, I can only imagine it has foundations and frames made of building biscuits.
I hope you found some of these examples both creative and inspirational. Remember it’s not unusual for people not to want a traditional wedding cake, it is your wedding so get a desert that represents you. The piece of advice which I hope sticks with you is that it is not about what the desert is made out of, but how it is presented and amplified to match the magnitude of the wedding.
