The Wedding Cake, one of the most revered wedding traditions by all accounts, has been undergoing a facelift of sorts…or rather a replacement.
Today’s bride has been forging her own path when it comes to foregoing the traditional frosted convection of wedding cake, and substituting it with a host of delectable replacements. From pie displays to whoopee pies, donuts with scrumptious dipping sauces to bananas foster flamed tableside, the members of the International Caterers Association have been creating a delectable array of sweets for their bridal client’s delight.
Don’t be afraid to step away from the path most taken and shake things up a bit at your wedding reception. A reflection of your personal taste and uniqueness, a customized dessert is the perfect sweet memory for you and your guests.
