There is rarely disappointment where wedding sweet tables are concerned. After all, outside of epic celebrations, it’s not often anyone gets the opportunity to raid a buffet of decadent bake shop treats. However, if you want to truly take your sweet table to the next level, going beyond cake, cupcakes and macarons is a good idea. For that reason, we got to work scouring Instagram for the coolest new wedding dessert trends in Canada. What we discovered will amaze you. From glittering booze-filled berries to iconic Austrian buns and ooey-gooey squares layered with everything under the sun, these are the new wedding dessert trends that should be on every couple’s radar.

252255 Crepe Cakes Instead of a traditional tiered confection, opt for a wedding cake that's completely unique. Millie Patisserie's indulgent crepe cakes are an inventive dessert option that will definitely intrigue your guests. Combining classic French technique with Japanese flavours, these cakes are constructed using 35 to 40 light-as-air crepes layered with whipped pastry cream (we especially love their signature matcha flavour).

252260 Quarter Buns Couples who’ve travelled to Austria will no doubt remember the cultish cheese buns peddled by Guschlbauer, the century-old bakery chain that has just opened its first North American location in Toronto. Their signature fluffy buns are handmade, cut into quarters, stuffed with layers of creamy cheese and coated with milk powder. The rich rolls are insanely delicious and come in flavours like mango passionfruit, chocolate and even sweet potato.

252257 Pie Slices These aren't your normal run-of-the-mill pies. Baker Danielle De Roo from Adamson Barbecue is the mastermind behind these delectable individual lemon meringue slices that are just as tasty as they are photogenic. Featuring a sweet and tangy lemon curd atop an all-butter crust, the pies are sliced first, then meringue is piped onto each individual slice and torched to perfection. The best part about this perfectly-portioned dessert option? It keeps your dessert table crumb-free!

252262 Shotberries Can you imagine a better wedding dessert than one that combines both chocolate AND alcohol?! Shotberry is a Toronto-based company that dips juicy strawberries in white and milk chocolate, tops them with everything from coconut to marshmallows and graham crackers, and then adorns each berry with a vial filled with your favourite alcohol, whether that's Bailey's or rosé. We especially love the "Barbie berry" with its silver sprinkle-covered exterior and bejewelled shot vial.

252258 Jumbo Fortune Cookies We've seen fortune cookies at wedding receptions before (sometimes in the form of an <a href="https://weddingbells.ca/real-weddings/an-elegant-wedding-in-vancouver-with-fun-details/slide/a-classic-elegant-wedding-in-vancouver-british-columbia-fortune-cookie-seating-chart/" target="_blank">amazing seating chart</a>), but never like this. These gigantic cookies (see regular-sized fortune cookies in the photo for scale) are a guaranteed conversation starter. The cookies can be customized with your choice of fortunes, so we especially love the idea of including personal thank-you notes for your guests.
