Weddings are always becoming less traditional -- and now it’s the cake that’s getting overhauled. The classic tiered cake with layer after fondant-coated layer is being replace more often with dessert tables. Many brides and grooms are opting out of the cake and transitioning to lighter and more individual variations of dessert. Unlike cake, where you can only have one flavor and please only a few of your guests, cupcakes, candies, cheesecake, etc. give guests a variety, making for less waste and more happy faces.

Along with the dessert tables, brides and grooms are encouraging their guests to take some sweets home with them. Our designers at RD I Do can help you create your very own customized goodie bag for guests to carry the mini treats around or take home what they couldn’t enjoy at the reception. Frequently, large cakes come out to be more expensive than expected and have less flexibility. Individual bite size treats can be less expensive and are less of a hassle, and no need to stress out about dropping or ruining the cake. Most importantly these treats are easy access as you’re headed to the dance floor!     

However, if a traditional cake is what you’re after, it is easy to combine the best of both worlds: including a smaller bride and groom cake for the traditional cutting, and then making sure the dessert table has a variety of sweets for guests. RD I Do can even help you find the perfect cake toppers and servers for your theme.

Whatever your theme or cake, remember that the wedding is for the happy couple! Make sure the cakes/desserts are something that you’ll both enjoy!
