Wedding Desserts: To Cake or Not to Cake?
Bevo creates unique and fun sweet treats for Vermont weddings. Here are some thoughts about the traditional wedding cake, and modern variations.
Baking up ideas for your 2020 wedding cake? Gorgeous organic designs and cake towers adorned with flowers are on trend this year, and Vermont’s summer and autumn beauty certainly make for a bounty of inspiration.
Serving your beautiful and delicious wedding cake to the happy couple and your guests is on our resume here at bevo. However, what if ordering a traditional wedding cake just isn’t for you?
Donuts and Pies, oh my!
Newlyweds Jessica and Benjamin opted for bevo to cater Cider Donuts & Mini Apple Pies with Sharp Vermont Cheddar. Sound more your style?

Experience and Style with bevo
According to 2020 wedding advice in Harper’s Bazaar, cake connoisseur Rosalind Miller’s predictions for cake trends in 2020 include dessert stations.
She states, “Dessert tables and lavish spreads to create impressive centrepiece talking points are…on the rise”.
“Whether it’s a huge lavish affair with an abundance of desserts or a smaller table with bite-size desserts all matching the theme of the cake, a show-stopper of a table that people can gather around becomes an experience.”
Our Vermont wedding catering team here at bevo is well-versed in creating world-class dessert stations featuring farm-to-table food for weddings at area Vermont venues, our event space, or your location.
Each wedding is completely unique, so get some ideas here, and work with us on perfect desserts for your special day.

Wedding Wire suggests, “To switch up your wedding dessert ideas, couples are opting for passed desserts instead of a plated dessert or dessert bar. Passed desserts will also keep your guests on the dance floor.”
Farm-to-Table, Fun & Formal
Stephanie and Sam chose Chocolate Chip Cookies & Milk Shooters to keep guests delighted and dancing.
Leaning more formal but not feeling a towering cake? Create the best of both worlds with a classy seated dessert featuring farm-fresh summer flavors.
Kaitlyn and David enjoyed Native Summer Berries Shortcakes with Vanilla Mascarpone Cream, tea and coffee for their reception dessert.
“From the invitations and centerpieces to the menu itself, couples and caterers are putting a lot of thought into each detail, including turning the dessert menu into an array of personal favorites that oftentimes bypasses the traditional wedding cake” (Lionsdeal).
