No matter how beautiful the couple is, how beautiful dressed they are, how special the location and the ceremony is or no how good the wedding party turns out to be, the most relevant thing for the wedding members is how rich or good the food on the table is. The wedding cake is one of these main things that can create an overview of the wedding in people’s minds and hearts. Considering that the wedding cake is one of the last things that the guests taste before their way home, we don’t want to blow it just at the end of all. So, if the cake wasn’t good, the wedding wasn’t good!



This is an introduction to the fact that there are couples who decide to go with some kind of an alternative wedding cake, which are the wedding cookies table. Fortunately, there aren’t so many weddings that offer wedding cakes made out of cookies to the public. These are isolated cases, in Ohio, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Pittsburg or New Jersey, where those who are getting married usually use a large diversified cookie table instead of the traditional wedding cake.

These cookies are home-backed, mostly by the mother of the bride, but everyone can participate. That if you eventually find it completely necessary to do it if you can keep up with the amount of sugar sorts that have to be served at the table. It is tradition who says that the wedding cake must be made out of tiny different cakes to serve your guests at the party. The guests receive these cookies at home too, as in tiny sweet gifts.

One may wonder: but the cookies aren’t as good as a wedding cake, or do not mean as much as a wedding cake truly means. Well, they might be wrong, when they could see all the variations of cookies that are being used to “replace” a wedding cake. Beyond the fact that it has no symbolism meaning, the wedding cakes made out of cookies is one of the greatest sugared full of desert table you have ever seen in your entire life. The arrangements of the cookies may look more attractive than the cookies itself, as the plates can have different shapes and colors, mostly silver or shiny shades.

If you wonder what kind of cookies are these that dare to take the place of the wedding cake, we can tell you a few names for you to look for further details. Ladylock is a very traditional cookie, made out of silk cream. Another one is the pizzelle, a wafer cookie that’s very flat and round, covered with some sort of lacy decoration, looking more like a snowflake.

It’s a very special cookie, because it has a lemon or anise liqueur flavor. These are a couple of the traditional sweets often used, but there are weddings that use different traditional cookies from Italy, Greek or Czech bakeries.  Once you taste these wonderful little symbols of the wedding cake, you can be completely enchanted and start to wonder, at some point, whether these cookies could ever replace the wedding cake.
