Some brides come to us with the vision of a traditional wedding which includes the classic wedding cake, complete with a topper and cutting ceremony. Others ask for the exact opposite, serving simple pies and bunt cakes. Brides are also looking for alternative desserts, either to replace the wedding cake or to add to it. I have compiled some images from vendors we've worked with in the past, showcasing desserts from the traditional to the over-the-top!

The classic wedding cake…there are so many styles to choose from -fresh flowers, sugar paste, fondant and buttercream. Check out these incredible designs! Cakes by Something Sweet By Michelle.

Custom shaded purple fondant with a shimmering overlay. Sugar paste flowers and ribbon draping complete the look of this unique creation.

Yes, this cake was as tall as it looked. Michelle needed a ladder to complete it on site! White fondant cake with hundreds of sugar paste flowers, each sprinkled with sparkles. The cake is sitting on a custom 36″ square acrylic base filled with beads for extra drama- as if the cake needed it.

Fresh flowers can provide a lot of pop to a fairly simple cake. Buttercream smoothed to perfection, with a simple ribbon border.

Another masterpiece with sugar paste flowers and twigs -a fairly simple fondant cake gets a twist of sophistication with sparse flowers throughout.

Sometimes simplicity is key. White and navy with a touch of pink clearly represented this ocean-meets-preppy themed wedding. Pink peonies at the top of the cake are sugar paste, by the way. Buttercream with simple dot work with square tiers on an angle.

Now for the not so traditional desserts…

Pies and bundt cakes, oh my!

Followed up, of course, by mini and regular-sized gummy bears.

Now, some people don't like chocolate fountains. They can get messy for sure, but how can you resist all of the fabulous goodies you get to smother in chocolate?

Another very popular option is the candy bar. This can be color coordinated to the wedding like the one below, or it can be filled with your favorite items.

And for the grand finale, my personal favorite, a custom chocolate buffet. Truffles, milkshake shooters, mousse, cookies…you name it, it's here…
