Think way outside the box - if you are hosting a casual wedding or one that has a brunch type reception try using an unfrosted layer cake. These are actually trending right now and you can find some really great designs at your cities for "naked" wedding cakes in all shapes and sizes.

CROQUEMBOUCHE - this takes the wedding cake back to its roots. Often thought to be one of the first wedding desserts to really catch on and the model for today's version of the wedding cake, the croquembouche is quite the statement maker. It is said that it evolved from medieval English traditions honed and refined by a French Pastry Chef. French and Pastry go together like Ham and Cheese.

I scream you scream we all scream ICE CREAM - nothing beats the sweltering heat of summer like ice cream. If you are having an outdoor wedding reception what better way to ensure your guests are comfortable than with an ice cream bar. Gelatos, sorbets, sherbets and champagne ices on tap. Hire a bartender to give the ice cream bar that added touch of elegance.

Let them eat "Pie" - imagine several tiers reminiscent of the ones used for wedding cake but on each one a delectable pie.

Wedding Dessert Shots - a delectable treat that is as beautiful to look at as it delicious to taste. They can be served in a wide variety ranging from strawberry shortcake to chocolate mousse.
