How Sweet It Is(n’t)

Savory Alternatives to Traditional Wedding Cake

Wedding cakes can be a huge part of the big day, but what happens when you don’t like sweets? Here’s 4 non-sweet alternatives to wedding cake! It’s okay to not have a cake if it doesn’t fit your tastes or budget!

Breakfast Foods So some of these may classify as sweet like waffles, but it’s savory too, right? And honestly, who doesn’t like breakfast foods? Create a pancake or waffle tower to resemble a cake shape. Or just go full on with a breakfast spread of eggs, croissants, crepes, bacon, etc. You already know we would be first in line!

Cheese Cake No, not cheesecake as in Cheesecake Factory. We’re talking about a literal cheese wheel wedding cake. You can mix and match your favorite cheeses through the tiers! You can even have fun mini taste testings before the big day and talk about a way to ramp up your charcuterie board skills in the process. Just be sure to take in texture and smell into consideration too when planning your cheese wheel cake. Pizza Weddings are more nontraditional than ever right now, and we are fully embracing it! Your wedding should be about things that reflect your style and tastes, and why not pizza? Picture pizza towers with different toppings on each or one long table with a little of everything. Deep dish or thin crust, doesn’t matter grab a slice.

Fruit The original sweets – fruits! Yes, I know fruits technically are sweet, but they are in a league of their own when compared to typical wedding desserts. However you want to style your chosen berries and melons, there is no wrong way to go! This is perfect for an early brunch or midday wedding too!
