DONUTS

Let’s lead with Donuts. Filled, glazed, sprinkled, powdered, or topped with frosting—whatever your preference, donuts are a fun, unexpected addition to any formal occasion and more couples are going for them. The advantage of having donuts at your wedding is that they come in lots of variety, shapes, and flavors. It can be more affordable than a four-tier cake, easier to serve, and you can create a fabulous donuts display. Donuts will enhance your current decor and carry your theme throughout the reception.

There are a lot of unique ways to display them. From donuts towers to donuts-cake stands, there is no end to the creativity you can bring. Our personal choices are donuts wall.

CHURROS

The next trend, popular these years, are churro carts. For those who are not familiar, churros are Spanish finger Doughnuts. This sweet treat is a popular addition to weddings and parties. If you are looking for a delicate and different dessert idea, look no further and get yourself a churro cart. Choose from different toppings, like chocolate, caramel, strawberry flavor, icing sugar or cinnamon, and you will definitely see your guests hanging by the churro stand all night.
