What can you have instead of a wedding cake?

A traditional wedding cake is always a safe bet, but maybe you want to go wild with something not traditional. The possibilities are endless: a cupcake tower, cheese and charcuterie table, pies, and mini desserts. The list goes on, but however you decide to end the night just remember to choose what YOU like best, because that’s all that matters.
