If you’re foodies like we are, picking out wedding desserts is definitely something at the top of your to do list. A lot of couples opt for a traditional wedding cake. While we do love a good cake, we also love challenging wedding traditions! More and more, we’ve had couples who aren't really into the idea of having a wedding cake...or they just wanna do something different. It’s super exciting when these couples come to us wanting to switch it up. Luckily, with wedding desserts, the possibilities are endless.
