Dessert bar in place of cake?

I love the idea and seriously considered it. But it was more than I wanted to spend. I say go for it's in your budget.

We're doing a dessert bar! We never eat cake at weddings so why have one at ours? Our caterer is providing it. There will be a bunch of little bites to choose from. Our venue also has an oven on site so I'm going to try and get warm chocolate chip cookies on the menu.

I think thats actually cool!!!

I'm totally going with Alisha, M~. Thanks for recommending her!

I'm going to discuss it with FH tonight but I really think we will go this way.

Warm choco chip ... mmmm ...

We did both...a small cake for the traditional cake cutting and then a dessert bar with candy.

We had cheesecake bites, brownies, ice cream cone cupcakes, bonbons, rock candy, M&Ms, suckers, gumballs and some other candies I can't remember...it was a huge hit and we had nothing left!

Here's how it turned out.

You can do a ton of other ideas too...cookie bar, popcorn bar, ice cream bar...options are endless!

I am going with a dessert bar. I am very excited about it. Here is the website to the place I am using:

I am going to add a lot little things to go with cupcake tower.

I don't know if I would PREFER it necessarily since I love cake, but I love other desserts too. Plus, you can do so many cute things with a dessert bar! I think it's a great idea!

We are doimg a cupcake wedding cake its more budget friendly (quote was $180 for 200 people) and we will have a few other things like eclairs to choose from.

Cydney that is beautifully set up

We are doing a dessert bar as well. The plan is to completely nix the wedding cake. For the feeding eachother photo opp we'll have 2 little bon-bons with our initials on it.

We are cutting a cake....but not serving it. Our dessert will be homemade ice cream. I am very excited because i love honemade ice cream!

Thanks maliburedneck...I did a trial setup with my baker so she knew how I wanted it to look

We are going to have 4 small cakes, because I love cake and then a dessert table with mini eclairs, cannolis, brownies, etc. I'm excited for the cakes! We picked strawberry for our cutting cake, banana (FH's favorite), carrot and coconut. Yummmm!

I love this idea. I just think that a dessert bar looks so sweet(wasn't trying to make a pun, but that really is the best word to describe it). It's starting to look like I'll have both. The venues I'm looking at are pretty all-inclusive and they include a viennese dessert display as well as a wedding cake.

You can have so much fun with a dessert buffet! I'm not a cake fan either, but you could always have a small cake to cut, with cake pops or cupcakes and a variety of other favorites for serving. Here's a link with some info about how to put a dessert table together that might help:

The desert bar sounds yummy! I would definitely do it!

Practical Ryan Gosling says go for it girl.

Thanks Kris I'm literally LOL right now. If practical Ryan Gosling says to do it then who am I to argue

He gives really good advice. I was about to send this one to my photographer, we're taking e-pics next month.
