Delicious alternatives to traditional wedding cake

Wedding cakes have traditionally been a big part of weddings, often an elaborately designed, multi-tiered centrepiece of the reception. From cutting the cake to the couple feeding each other bites (gracefully or….less gracefully if they’re feeling cheeky) and saving the top tier to enjoy on a first anniversary there are many traditions that involve the wedding cake. However, more and more couples are skipping older traditions to embrace what feels right for them and dessert is no exception. For those couples looking for something a little less traditional to satisfy their sweet tooth at the reception here is a round up of local, Georgian Bay area bakers that offer alternatives to the wedding cake.
