Who ever said a white cake was enough??

I have always been a sucker for a good dessert, I mean lets be honest, who isn’t? Wedding trends are causing bride and grooms to deviate from the traditional ceremonies and reception styles, making guest more excited as ever to attend weddings to see what will be unique about it. Ceremony seating, bride and bridesmaids attire, sign-in books, cocktail hours, specialty drinks, cigar bars, menu choices, entertainment choices, and most of all THE CAKE! You used to fill up on all the other deliciousness at a wedding and would steal a piece of the cake on a small paper plate to take home to devour at a later time. Now we have dessert bars that are a popular trend that have taken center stage and can’t be taken too far. Let’s just drool a little and take a look at some of these adorable trends:

Mini Pies: 

Cupcakes took over a couple years ago, this fall you may see a lot of mini pies. From cherry, apple, and pumpkin you can’t go wrong with these adorable little pies. And why not make them a la mode??

Dessert Shooters: 

A dessert shooter is just your favorite dessert- but LESS of it. That means you can eat it without guilt, and why not try a variety of flavors.

S’mores: 

What could be more perfect for a fall wedding or event, than s’mores. Not only would it be a unique set up, but it will make your guest think of your wedding every time they enjoy a scrumptious s’more.

Fruit: 

Healthy habits are extremely important to some people. Why not offer some healthy options at your special event and show your style along the way.

In the end, whether it be with cookies, pies, shooters, fruit, or an elegant three tier cake, you can make choices to fit your style. Weddings are such a sweet and special time for the bride and groom, and what better way to share the sweetness with your guest than with a trendy dessert bar.

One Last Touch: 

I couldn’t leave you without suggesting one last sweet touch. Why not serve milk and cookies as a farewell toast? And don’t forget to add the Bailey’s for the party crowd!
