Make it a Table!

This week we are looking at wedding dessert alternatives and if you’re looking to go all out with your wedding then a dessert table is sure to wow your guests. Consider it as a wedding cake upgrade, with a wedding dessert table you get the wedding cake of your dreams with the added bonus of multiple dessert treats such as beautifully decorated cake pops and colorful macaroons.

Through the use of a specialist dessert table creator you can have the perfectly designed wedding dessert table made to match your personality and wedding for around £700. That includes the wedding cake as well as all the additional little dessert treats. On the other hand if your feeling rather creative and brave you could even attempt to create your own wedding dessert table and really cut down the costs.

Here are some little dessert table inspirations to tickle your fancy. Once you’ve had a look it will be hard to say no to having your own spectacular wedding dessert table for your own perfect wedding.

Lego lovers

Here’s another weird but wonderful wedding cake idea to continue our kooky wedding cake theme this weekend. I love how the white Lego block folds back to see layers of coloured blocks on the inside, giving it such a realistic Lego look. Also love the toppers being real Lego bride and groom figures, definitely an idea for all you Lego lovers!
