What<\/em> Is A Doughnut Wedding Cake?<\/h2>\n

A doughnut wedding cake is quite simply a cake made from doughnuts. Usually, they are stacked or displayed on a wall at a wedding.<\/p>\n

Can I Have Doughnuts Instead<\/em> Of A Traditional Wedding Cake?<\/h2>\n

You can have doughnuts instead of a traditional sponge or fruit wedding cake. Or, you could have doughnuts as a tasty treat or wedding dessert to supplement your wedding cake.<\/p>\n

How Many<\/em> Donuts Do You Need For A Wedding Cake?<\/h2>\n

When it comes to how many doughnuts to use for a wedding cake there are two ways to approach portion sizes. Firstly, think about how many guests<\/strong> you have and if one each will suffice.<\/p>\n

Some guests may eat more, some may be too full to eat one depending on your wedding day menu.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, consider the aesthetics of your doughnut cake display. If you have a doughnut wall, you probably don’t want empty slots<\/strong> on it.<\/p>\n

But, it goes without saying you want to avoid food waste<\/strong> so carefully consider your options. It may be that you can box up leftover doughnuts to give out at the end of your wedding.<\/p>\n

How Do You Keep Wedding Doughnuts Fresh<\/em>?<\/h2>\n

Ask your wedding doughnut baker for the best advice on keeping your doughnuts fresh<\/strong>. They may advise refrigeration depending on the topping or filling. It’s a good idea to keep them in an air-tight container too. Your wedding venue may be able to assist with storing them until you need them on the day.<\/p>\n

What Can I Serve<\/em> With Wedding Doughnuts?<\/h2>\n

First up, think about supplying plates, napkins or paper bags<\/strong> to keep guests clean. You could offer forks, but most guests are likely to use their hands to eat them. For an extra treat, serve steaming hot tea or coffee<\/strong> to wash them down.<\/p>\n

Cardboard boxes or doggy bags are ideal for leftovers so they don’t go to waste.<\/p>\n
