Dessert Stations can be as grand or as simple as you want, and offer guests the opportunity to select what they’re really in the mood for. You can create a candy bar full of you and your husband’s favorite childhood candies. Place them in clear apothecary jars and label each treat for a simple but elegant look. Or, you can try a cheesecake bar. Scoop cheesecake into martini glasses and have guests select their own toppings like cherries, chocolate sauce, whipped cream and crushed Oreo cookies. Try incorporating your wedding’s colors with coordinating colored M&Ms.
If you’re not into the big-cake-cut-into-small-slices idea, try serving each guest their own individual cake. Try something as simple as an open-dish shaped angel food cake filled with seasonal berries and topped with whipped cream and chocolate shavings, or something as elaborate as the ones pictured.
If you still want the feel of a cake, but want to try something a little less traditional, try a cupcake tower. These can be multi-tiered and can include cupcakes of all different flavors and colors. Cupcake towers are beautiful and practical, and are sure to delight your guests (particularly the younger ones!).
Lastly, you can always opt for a fondue station with a variety of dippers. Try marshmallows, graham crackers, bananas, strawberries, or rice-krispie treats. Be careful though, particularly if your reception is being held outside. Melted chocolate can get messy fast, especially if an unexpected gust of wind comes through.
Remember, dessert is inherently fun. Don’t worry so much about how intricate your delicacies are. Your guests will love anything that satisfies their sweet tooth and makes them smile!
