Some&nbsp;sort of carb-y treat has been part of wedding celebrations since Roman times, when grooms broke a loaf of unsweetened barley bread over the bride&#8217;s head. Elaborate, multi-tiered wedding cakes gained popularity in the seventeenth century.&nbsp;Today, wedding cake provides a sweet treat to end the night and provide the sugar high guests need to power through late-night dance parties. (Not to mention, cake tastings are often the most delicious part of wedding planning.) But cake isn&#8217;t for everybody. Whether you want to do something different, provide an alternatives for guests with food allergies or preferences, or just simply don&#8217;t like cake, here are seven alternatives to wedding cake that are just as sweet that you and your guests will love.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 675px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/portlandbrideandgroom.com\/2014\/07\/the-scoop-10-cool-ways-to-serve-ice-cream-at-portland-weddings\/\" class=\"broken_link\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/rehearsaluploads.withjoy.com\/uploads\/uploads\/2015\/09\/ice-cream.jpg\" alt=\"wedding ice cream cones\" width=\"665\" height=\"448\"><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: Portland Bride and Groom; Style Me Pretty; Camille Styles<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>1. ICE CREAM<\/h2>\n<p>Serve ice cream at your wedding and all your guests are sure to scream with delight. Whether it&#8217;s in a cone, in a sandwich, part of a milkshake or as an accompaniment to your wedding cake, ice cream is the perfect sweet treat for guests who need to cool down after getting down on the dance floor all night long. <strong>Pro tip:<\/strong> When choosing flavors, consider picking one non-dairy variety to make sure guests with allergies get to indulge as well.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingomania.com\/25-cheap-and-cool-wedding-cake-alternatives\/pictures\/5664\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/rehearsaluploads.withjoy.com\/uploads\/uploads\/2015\/09\/wedding-pie.jpg\" alt=\"wedding pie\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\"><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: weddingomania.com<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>2. PIE<\/h2>\n<p>The cake versus pie debate can cause some serious debate, but if you find yourself squarely on the side of Team Pie, why not make your wedding reflect your style? Wedding pie is delicious, comforting, and fits in just right if you are going with an even remotely rustic theme. <strong>Pro tip:<\/strong> If you can&#8217;t choose between the two, consider offering both cake and pie &#8212; and letting your guests vote with their taste buds.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 655px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bellethemagazine.com\/2011\/12\/weddings-trends-milk-and-cookies.html\" class=\"broken_link\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/rehearsaluploads.withjoy.com\/uploads\/uploads\/2015\/09\/milk-cookies-wedding.jpg\" alt=\"wedding milk and cookie bar\" width=\"645\" height=\"484\"><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: Belle the Magazine<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>3. COOKIES<\/h2>\n<p>Having a cookie table at your wedding, in which the bride and groom&#8217;s families prepare an array of cookies for guests to snack on in addition to wedding cake, is actually a common tradition in certain parts of the country, especially Pennsylvania. Embrace this tradition and delight guests with a cookie table of your own. <strong>Pro tip:<\/strong> Do we even need to say it? Milk!<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingchicks.com\/2014\/03\/25\/cheesecake-in-mini-mason-jars\/\" class=\"broken_link\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/rehearsaluploads.withjoy.com\/uploads\/uploads\/2015\/09\/cheesecake-in-a-jar.jpg\" alt=\"cheesecake dessert in a jar\" width=\"550\" height=\"423\"><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: The Wedding Chicks<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>4. ANYTHING IN A JAR<\/h2>\n<p>Sorry hipster-haters, but jarred desserts aren&#8217;t going anywhere. Whether you&#8217;re filling mason jars with a&nbsp;parfait, pie, cheesecake or crumble, jarred desserts are easy to prepare and serve and look as good as they taste. <strong>Pro tip:<\/strong> Personalized mason jars double as&nbsp;wedding favors.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 595px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.magnetstreet.com\/wedding-blog\/multicultural-classic-wedding\" class=\"broken_link\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/rehearsaluploads.withjoy.com\/uploads\/uploads\/2015\/09\/wedding-fruit-bar.jpg\" alt=\"wedding fruit bar\" width=\"585\" height=\"390\"><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: MagnetStreet.com<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>5. FRUIT<\/h2>\n<p>You don&#8217;t have to be a total health nut to enjoy fresh fruit as a delicious dessert alternative. A big platter of fresh fruit is a great alternative to balance out a rich meal or more sugary treats. It&#8217;s also a great option to suit a variety of allergies, so any guests avoiding gluten, dairy or other common allergens can dig in. <strong>Pro tip:<\/strong> Get creative with the presentation! Ask your caterer to carve some of the fruit into unique shapes and your fruit bar can double as a decoration.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rehearsaluploads.withjoy.com\/uploads\/uploads\/2015\/09\/wedding-caramels.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/rehearsaluploads.withjoy.com\/uploads\/uploads\/2015\/09\/wedding-caramels.jpg\" alt=\"wedding caramels\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\"><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lebongarcon.com\/\">Le Bon Garcon artisan caramels<\/a> were a hit at Mary and Adam&#8217;s wedding!<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>6. CARAMELS<\/h2>\n<p>Ooey gooey&nbsp;caramels aren&#8217;t just delicious, they make wonderful favors as well. So why not double up on the sweet stuff and offer up jars of caramels, or other candies, for your guests? If you&#8217;re an avid DIY-er, caramels are easy to make and package up en masse, or you can purchase artisan caramels online or at a local gourmet shop.

MACARONS<\/h2>\n<p>French macarons&nbsp;have a lot going for them: they are cute, colorful and insanely delicious. And since they are made with almonds instead of flour, you can practically call them health food. (Macarons are naturally gluten-free, so more guests can get in on the sugar high.)&nbsp;<strong>Pro tip:<\/strong>&nbsp;Choose macarons in your wedding colors to keep your theme and decor consistent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cake has long played a key part in weddings.
