Dress Up Dessert



Wedding cake is a time-honored tradition and serves as a beautiful focal point during the reception. Newlyweds look forward to that classic moment when they can cut the cake and feed to each other, and it makes for fabulous photos. But how about offer something extraordinary to your guests? The escape from traditional wedding cake will delight them. While cake is wonderful, individual desserts are unforgettable.

You don’t have to sacrifice the tradition to spoil your guests. Have the best of both worlds! Display a small tiered cake for cutting and photos, and then serve personal desserts to guests. I love the ribbon and monogrammed accents in the photos above from Martha Stewart. And while the glass dessert platter makes for great presentation in the picture on the left, all the focus goes to the ribbon accent and that enticing dessert it’s surrounding. Forgo the platter to splurge on the dessert. The statement will still speak volumes to your guests as they delight in their personalized confections.
