Julia Child once said, “A party without cake is just a meeting.”
In some cases, a wedding is like one big, luxurious party. I like to think of it as a once in a lifetime holiday that you can reflect back on for years to come. In any case, cakes help us commemorate special occasions with those we love most. But what about when cake isn’t your dessert of choice? Believe it or not, a lot of people actually don’t like cake - I would say every 2 out of 5 couples communicates a desire for a dessert they’ll actually enjoy on their wedding night.
Even if you do like cake, you might consider including other desserts too for the sake of your guests. Chances are there’s a few people in the crowd who’d prefer a different sweet treat. Check out these popular dessert ideas for your wedding:
