SEXY GLAM

MAGAZINE - OCTOBER 2019

upcakes

As wedding traditions become increasingly flexible,

bending to personal taste and style, we see more and

more couples choosing to swap out the multi-tiered

wedding cake for a playful assortment of cupcakes and

smaller desserts. This might still garner critical com-

mentary from the super-traditional Negative Nancy

that weasels her way onto every guest list, but as long

as your and your

soon-to-be spouse are

happy with

your choices,

that’s all

that mat-

ters.

Doughnuts

Don’t assume doughnuts are out of

the question just because your wed-

ding isn’t at brunch time. In fact, the

impact of doughnuts on your dessert

table will be even greater if your guests

show up expecting traditional

dinner, cake, and dancing.

Doughnuts are another

one of those handheld

sweets that you can

take back onto the

dance floor and

munch on during

the Cha Cha Slide.

Chocolate

Bars

We love an edible favor as

much as the next person,

but they’re not all created

equal—anything chocolate auto-

matically wins! In this case, the

guests were encouraged to snack

on the chocolate bars throughout

the night, not just on

their way out of the

venue.

Cake Pops

Okay, this is genius, and

it’s sure to be a hit among kids

and adults alike. In the same way

that a cake pop is an elevated way to present

s’mores, that flavor profile makes these pops

unique. They also blend beautifully with any

cake ta-

ble color scheme

you’ve got

going

on.

If wedding cake pur-

ists reserve a side-eye for cupcakes,

they’ll definitely have something to say about

cookies, but be honest: Sometimes you don’t want

to navigate the cake-to-icing ratio. Or you’re torn

between grabbing dessert and joining in on the

Electric Slide. With cookies on the dessert table,

your guest have another, simpler option for af-

ter-dinner sweets.
