5 Creative Alternatives to Wedding Cake

Who doesn’t love cake?! It’s arguably the most popular wedding dessert (and for good reason - traditional, aesthetically pleasing, versatile, delicious!) but it’s not your only choice when it comes to decadent big-day treats. Most of the team here at Peppers Creek Barrel Room & Chapel are loud and proud insatiable sweet tooths, so this list of cake alternatives was an enjoyable one to put together…

Giant meringue

Crunchy, covered in berries and oozing delicious, sweet cream! Grand and insta-worthy.

Gelato cart

Another one for the non-traditionalists, especially during the warmer months. Just select it as a venue add-on when you book with us!

Dessert station

Cookies, brownies, cupcakes, mini macaroons, mille-feuille - the options are endless! The bright colours and snackability of this setup are guaranteed to impress even your littlest (and often pickiest) guests too.

Croquembouche

If you’re a long-time fan of MasterChef, chances are you’ve seen this towering French pastry dessert. Sophisticated and statement-making!

Cheese wheel tower

We haven’t forgotten about you, savoury lovers! These are also gluten-free and very low in sugar, which is an added bonus for those with specific dietary requirements. Fruit, nut and delicate flower adornments up the visual appeal as well.
