Wedding Cake Alternatives – Part One
Although many of us (myself included) love wedding cake, we know that there are brides (& grooms) that prefer something other than the traditional wedding cake. So if buttercream frosting doesn’t make you swoon, here are a couple of sweet alternatives:
Nothing Bundt Cake
From Nothing Bundt Cakes
We were sold on these when Nothing Bundt Cake brought these by for our Grand Opening. Although still technically cake it does have its own unique twist. With lots of flavors (including some fabulous seasonal ones) you can serve individual bundlets (see picture) or have a cake for each table (encourage guest to get up and explore all the flavors). Our favorites are Chocolate Chocolate Chip and White Chocolate Raspberry. The frosting is just as decadent as the cake.

Get them bite sized for all your guests to try or in tiered layers.
Macarons
Macarons from Jones Bros. Cupcakes
We found these great wedding cake alternatives at Jones Bros. Cupcakes, one of the only places in Omaha that sells them. Macarons or French Macarons (not to be confused with the coconut cookie macaroon) are made using almond or hazelnut flour, eggs, superfine & powdered sugars. Made in house, these macarons have really gained popularity lately. Their flavors include: Vanilla bean, Lemon, Chocolate, Mocha, Caramel, Orange, Pistacio, Blueberry and monthly flavors. Look at all these colors, wouldn’t they be adorable at any wedding?
