We have long believed that dessert is the best part of the meal! From cake to ice cream, pie to s’mores, we usually won’t say no to a yummy treat. So it’s no surprise that dessert has become a staple in a wedding day.

Though cake is the traditional Palm Beach wedding dessert, you can have a variety of desserts served on your big day. Whether you don’t like cake or you have dietary restrictions, these dessert alternatives are bound to make all your guests happy.

This list is by no means comprehensive but just some examples of how you can customize your Palm Beach wedding dessert options to your particular taste.

1. Gluten-Free Desserts

We have tons of friends who suffer from Celiac Disease or are gluten-intolerant and we are guessing you do too. Offering delicious gluten-free options at your Palm Beach wedding is a great way to make sure everyone can enjoy the yumminess.

We love these treats from Blondies Vegan Bakery & Café in Boynton Beach where all the desserts are gluten-free!

2. S’mores and Marshmallows

S’mores are a staple of childhood. Sitting around a fire, enjoying great company, and trying not to light your marshmallow on fire. It was great fun.

Channel that childhood fun by having Dreamallows interactive s’mores cart at your Palm Beach wedding! If you aren’t into s’mores, Dreamallows also offers some great marshmallow guest favor options. Soo delicious.

3. Vegan Desserts

Choosing the vegan lifestyle is a wonderful decision, but it shouldn’t preclude you from having delectable desserts at your Palm Beach Wedding.

Luckily, Parlour Vegan Bakery in Boca Raton specializes in makes delicious, vegan desserts. I mean….don’t these look amazing!!

4. Donuts

5. Pies

Imagine you are breaking down on the dance floor and in comes a gelato cart filled with delectable flavor options to help cool you down during you dance break.

It’s possible with the gelato cart by Sant Ambroeus Palm Beach. Their cart is darling and their gelato is exquisite. It is definitely a fun option!

8. Candy Buffet

Candy buffets are still crazy popular with couples wanting their dessert display to have an extra kick.

These candy buffets are usually paired with another wedding dessert, allowing guests to fill up to-go bags of candy that serve as a wedding favor. If you are going down this route, check out the Bulk Candy Store in West Palm Beach.
