Is anyone else noticing America’s favorite breakfast indulgence is suddenly becoming an ever popular, incredibly trendy dessert option? Donuts are taking over traditional cakes and cupcakes at events (especially weddings) all over the country. And why shouldn’t they be offered for dessert?! They are DELICIOUS. Let’s be honest, they are pretty fitting for an after dinner treat, they are as sweet as cake and look adorable at the same time. You just can’t go wrong here– everyone loves a good pastry.

Donuts make a perfect option for a cake alternative. Since they come in all different colors they can easily be tailored to fit your wedding’s color palate. With the many different varieties available they are as good a crowd pleaser as wedding cake. Create a “Donut Bar” and suddenly you have an uber-creative, with-it dessert station.  You could also leave take home boxes next to the desserts and send guests with breakfast for the morning (knowing very well almost NO one will wait until morning to eat them!).

People just can’t resist a good donut, plain and simple.
