Let them eat cake! (Or cupcakes. Or ice cream. Or cookies.) Having a celebratory slice of dessert on your wedding day is a tradition that never goes out of style. Still, many couples find a way to put a unique spin on their wedding confections. Here are a few trends we’ve seen popping up at our New Jersey venues:

Fabulous florals. Picture a colorful arrangement of your favorite bloom adorning your wedding cake. This floral couture trend gives an air of romance and whimsy and comes in all shapes and styles – from big and bold to delicate and detailed. Here are some ways it can be done:

Get personal! We love unique wedding toppers, from customized initials to personalized bridal figurines. Or, the cake can be adorned with custom items that reflect you (check out the nautical anchor design below!). We love some of the personalized cakes that have been featured at the Versailles Ballroom in Toms River and at our sister venues:

Think outside the box. Some couples are moving away from traditional flavors and serving some more sensational combinations for dessert. At the Versailles Ballroom at the Ramada Inn in Toms River, for instance, cakes can feature unique fillings like cookies and cream, cannoli, or flavored mousse for a delightful bite. Bonus: Versailles Ballroom cakes can have alternating layers for even more variety! Our local cake designers from the Chocolate Carousel in Wall, New Jersey can fulfill your flavorful wishes.

Accessorize! Don’t underestimate the power of dessert accessories. Couples that celebrate at the Versailles Ballroom have endless options for dessert accompaniments, from seasonal pastries to customized buffet-style dessert bars.

No guest will go home hungry after a slice of cake and a customized sundae from the “Sundae at the Boardwalk” bar (a smorgasbord of nostalgic ice cream delights) or a few decadent dipped fruits from our Chocolate Lover’s Paradise!

Whether it’s an intricate work of art or a cake that melds your favorite flavors together, no two wedding cakes at the Versailles Ballroom are alike! If you’re curious, visit the Chocolate Carousel to see what beautiful creations the cake designers can whip up.
