Aternatives to cake.....ideas?

ChaosPixie, 13 December, 2012 at 12:33 Posted on Planning 0 10

Hi everyone,

My fiance and I are not big fans of cake so are trying to think of alternatives. My cousin had a 'profiterole mountain' at her wedding and I thought it was wonderful! But my fiance doesn't like cream..... We have looked at cakes of cheese but would really quite like something sweet.

Would love some suggestions!

Thanks

    You won't be eating much of it. Do your guests like cake?

    What about donut towers? Cheesecake (actual cheesecake, not a cheese tower)?

    Some couples have dessert tables rather than a traditional cake, with various different cakes, desserts and puddings. You could ask your guest to contribute something.

    Oooh I'm *Mac-tower* girl. Everyone loved it because all the (English) guests had never seen one before.

    Can't seem to flash here, so here is a link to the photo - they put flwoers on the top as well.
