Cakes, Cupcakes, and More! (Updated)

Nowadays, there are many dessert options available for weddings. Cake is still the most traditional and beloved option, but you may want to have more variety available or be allergy-friendly for your guests. Here are many other ideas that might strike your fancy:

Cupcakes
Many bakeries offer delicious and delightful wedding cupcakes that can be impressively displayed on high tiers. With these cupcakes, you have the advantage of having multiple flavors to suit you or your guests’ tastes. You may even save costs on the cake-cutting fee that some caterers impose! (Note: Four Seasons Catering includes complimentary cake-cutting.) Cupcakes tend to be less ornate and require less detailed handiwork than grandiose cakes, which cuts back on labor cost; however, if your cupcakes are still very detailed in design, those costs might end up being the same. Please let us know if you are interested in this option; we would be happy to refer you to one of our trusted bakery vendors!


Dessert/Candy Bar
A dessert/candy bar contains the same advantages as having cupcakes (see above), with the added advantage of having even more selection! Served buffet style, you can lay out an assortment of cookies, tarts, cupcakes, petit fours, candies, brownies, etc. These items can be completely personalized to reflect your personality and your sweet tooths! And with such a large variety, you’re sure to please your guests!





Cake pops
Cake pops are the new trend in the wedding industry! They’re bite-sized cake balls on a stick decorated into adorable shapes and designs (including a “dress and tux”). Cake pops can be made at home and ahead of time, and are individually wrapped and tagged for each of your guests. Has a miniature ball of cake ever looked so adorable and delicious?

and added their own personalized touch to match the theme!

Whatever your heart desires
You can serve whatever you like! You may want to incorporate your heritage into your dessert (for example, delicious Taiwanese egg tarts are a well-loved treat), or you may want to use a personal favorite (such as a fruit tart). The sky is the limit, and with all of the scrumptious flavors listed above, dessert will never be boring!
