Cake? Dessert table? Donuts?

FutureMrs.M., on March 23, 2017 at 9:37 PM Posted in Planning 0 46

What's everyone doing for dessert? FH really does not want a traditional cake. We are thinking of doing a small cutting cake with either a table of different desserts, or gourmet donuts. FH LOVES this donut place where we would get the gourmet donuts from and would probably do something like the picture. My mom hates this idea and thinks donuts are not appropriate for a wedding. Thoughts? As a guest, would you be disappointed with donuts?

    We're going to do a traditional cake but we're also having our reception at a restaurant so we're going to have their dessert menu open for those who would prefer something different to wedding cake. Though, donuts are awesome and I wouldn't be disappointed as a guest. FH and I considered it for a short period of time.

    I've been to a wedding with a donut table and everyone seemed to like it, they had a lot of variety. We are doing a traditional cake and a dessert table with at least 5 different options, probably some fruit dessert and pastries.

    I plan on chocolate fondue fountain and fruits.. don't want to many sweets.. I think donuts are fine but they do dry out quickly...

    I think it's a great idea! And it saves so much money. We are having a mini cupcake tower with gourmet cupcakes for the guests topped with a 6in round for us.

    We'll be cutting a small cake that will be displayed on a little table next to our SH table - just for photos and the tradition of it - then opening a dessert bar with a few fun flavors of donuts and plated cake.

    I'm Team Cake. We had a cake table with a variety of different flavored cakes instead of a large tiered cake.

    I like donuts and pie and other desserts, but I think they're best when they're in addition to wedding cake instead of in place of it.

    Thank you for all the ideas! FH and I will have to discuss the options a little more I think.

    We are doing a small 2 tiered cake for cutting, and gourmet cupcakes for everyone else in 3 or 4 different flavors.

    We ended up going the traditional route but I wouldn't be mad if I went to a wedding that served donuts - who doesn't like a tasty donut?!

    We are also doing a cookie table. The cookie table is a tradition in Pittsburgh (my FH hometown) and my FMIL really wanted one.

    I love the donut idea. It's hard to beat a good donut, in my opinion!
