Neither my finace nor I are all that into cake (except for one... see "PS" at the end) and we're looking for some other dessert ideas (not sure if we want to do the cupcake thing). I was looking on another message board and one girl gave this list of ideas- her copied post is in blue
rice krispy treats (they can even be shaped and decorated like a cake)
ice cream sundae bars
Krisy Kreme donut towers
Croquembouche (cream puff tower)
cheesecakes
fruit cobblers
any kind of pie
dessert shots (mini parfait type things in different flavors)
two-bite desserts like brownies, petit fours, eclairs, whoopie pies
action station desserts like cherries jubilee, bananas foster (the flambe thing is cool)
I really liked her ideas- rice krispie treats, cheesecakes, and the dessert shots. I've looked at a lot of bakery's websites and they all seem to advertise cakes, cookies and cupcakes. Anyone know of a good, but affordable baker that does all of these things? (Sorry, I know I'm asking a lot!) I would prefer someone in Eastern CT/Hartford/Middletown area.
PS: The one cake my fiance and I LOVE is trifle, which as I've thought about it would be difficult to serve at a wedding? Anyone know of a baker who does any kind of work with angel food cake?
Thanks so much!! |
