We all have that classic image in our head when we think of a wedding cake, but why not break from tradition and explore a different avenue to go down? Here are five alternative desserts you can have on your big day that are guaranteed to be as delicious and a little bit different.

Cupcakes

Rachelle's Cakes

Deconstruct the tiers of wedding cake into smaller, more manageable treats by having cupcakes at your wedding. Easily matched to your theme with coloured and textured icing, cupcakes are a fun and personalised way to spoil your guests. Cupcakes are also very easy for guests to take away with them and share with loved ones who couldn't make it on the day. This gorgeous flower bouquet from Rachelle's Cakes looks almost too good to eat… we did say 'almost'! 

Macarons
