In the name of creative thinking and making your wedding stand out from the same old. We wanted to give you some out of the box alternatives to the formal wedding cake tradition. 

15 Creative Alternatives to the Formal Wedding Cake: 

  • Cup Cakes - You might have seen this done before, so for an alternative twist to this idea, why not have one huge cup cake as your wedding cake to cut into, and some different flavored small cup cakes for your guests. You can even add you and your partner's initials to the cup cakes for that something extra.
  • Macaroon Tower - This idea will go well with a colorful themed wedding, or even if you have a pastel color theme. 
  • Pies - Get three to four different sized and flavored pies and stack them as you would a tiers cake. 
  • Doughnut Tower - Again, you can stack different flavored doughnuts on a tall cake stand. 
  • Cake Pops - This is one of the new wedding cake trends, ask your cake vendor about cake lolly pops as a wedding cake substitute. 
  • Rise Crispy Tiers - Make big rice crispy tiers to stake as you would your wedding cake, and as decor add thick decorative ribbon around each tier for color.
  • Cheese Wheel Cakes - For a more savory option on the wedding cake alternative, why not go for something completely different such as  cheese wheels. Choose your favorite cheese wheels in different sizes and stake in a wedding cake shape. Add some grapes, crackers, and even wine as decor. 
  • Various Sweet Treats - Use something like a 6 tier cascade cake stand to present all the various sweet finger treats you choose.
  • Candy Apple Stakes - This idea will work well for a candy, or more whimsical wedding theme. 
  • Chocolate Dipped Strawberries - You can put your chocolate dipped strawberries in small cup cake holder to prevent a mess and for a more formal look. 
  • Mini Pavlovas - You can either use small shot glasses or something like cocktail glasses to fill your mini layered pavlovas, then stack them on a three tiers cake stand for presentation. 
  • Waffle D.I.Y Table - Again for a more out of the box creative idea, make a Do-It-Yourself waffle table with various toppings. 
  • Chocolate Fountain Table - Try to get a 4 - 5 tier chocolate fountain to add height to your chocolate fountain table. Add squire sticks and dippers such as strawberries and marshmallows. 
  • Heart Shaped Brownies - You could have a three tier cake stand with different flavored brownies on each tier. 
  • Boosi Option - Make use of a glass 3 - 4 tier cake stand to add a bit of elegance. Then add different flavored shooters to each tier. Go for more sweet and desert flavors to stick to the desert theme, and adding colorful flavors with back lighting will make for a stunning decor piece.
