Move over traditional wedding cakes, cookie wedding cakes​ are having their moment! Imagine a cookie wedding cake with your all-time favorite cookies stacked up to perfection. Celebrate your lasting love as you treat yourself to a cookie (or two) and head to the dance floor.

The idea of a cookie cake wedding cake might be totally new to you—that’s why we’re here! At Fresh Flours, we’re ready to make your sweetest dreams come true. Let’s talk about what makes a wedding cookie cake special and why you should consider one for your big day. So, What Exactly Is a Cookie Cake Wedding Cake?

In the same way that a traditional wedding cake has tiered layers, a cookie wedding cake has tiers of cookies. The cookie tower can include one type of cookie or a range of flavors arranged on each level of the “cake.”

Why Couples Are Choosing a Cookie Tower for Their Reception

More couples are foregoing the traditional and embracing originality by choosing wedding cookie cakes. According to The Knot 2023 Real Weddings Study, today’s couples want to break from the traditional mold and get creative with how they celebrate.

Opting for a cookie tower follows the latest wedding trends, such as incorporating individual servings, grazing tables, unique presentations, and more authenticity into your celebration.

Wedding cake cookies align perfectly with all these trends, offering your guests a unique alternative to the traditional slice of cake on a plate!

Speaking of authenticity, did you know some wedding cakes aren’t even real? Yes, many “dummy cakes” are made entirely of faux layers just for photos, or they only have a single real layer at the bottom to cut and serve. But with a cookie cake wedding cake, we can assure you every layer is edible and real! Each cookie brings both mouthwatering flavor and an authentic touch that your guests will love.

Here are some of the top reasons couples are opting for a cookie wedding cake:

Variety for Your Guests

Instead of having one cake with one flavor, you can mix and match a range of textures, colors, and flavors to offer more variety for different tastes.

Most couples we’ve worked with choose a few crowd favorites like chocolate chip or oatmeal raisin cookies but then add something unexpected and seasonal like s’mores bars or apple pie minis.

We also have gluten-free options available for your guests who need them. They’ll be thrilled to know they can actually have dessert at your wedding instead of having to skip it. No matter which flavors you choose, you’ll have an amazing assortment that works for you and your guests’ tastes and preferences!

Cost-Effective Alternative to Cake

Here’s the thing: wedding cakes can be very costly! According to Brides magazine, they typically run around $2.50 to $8 per slice in the U.S., but with more labor-intensive designs and specialty ingredients, the price can easily reach $12 per slice. Alternatively, a cookie tower can be a much more affordable dessert option.

We base our pricing on the baked goods you choose, from less expensive cookies like our sables to desserts that require more time and labor, such as mini pastries. We work closely with each couple to create a dessert option that aligns with their budget and vision.

Ability to Customize Individual Cookies

Can you customize each individual slice of cake? No, but you can with cookies! Choose whatever your heart desires with endless customization options. Do you want each tier to have a different flavor? How about matching the crystal sugar to your wedding colors? It’s all possible with our personalized wedding cake cookies!

One of our clients requested sable cookies in gold and silver for a primarily white wedding that perfectly complemented their color scheme. We also made a cookie tower for another client with five levels of favors. Each level had a different theme and sweet treat inside, individually wrapped for their guests. Personalizing your wedding cake cookies will always leave a lasting impression!

Grab-and-Go Convenience

The other wonderful thing about cookie wedding cakes is that individual cookies make this dessert conveniently portable. Your guests don’t have to sit down during a long cake-cutting process and wait to be served their slice of cake. As one of our brides wrote in her review: “The best part was that guests could grab a cookie and go right back to dancing the night away!” which was exactly what she wanted.

Have Your Wedding Cookie Cake and Eat It Too

The best part about having a cookie wedding cake is there are no rules! Each tower is as unique as the couple’s vision.

Want to add a mini cake on top of your cookie tower? You got it. We created a mini 4-inch cake for one client for the top tier complete with a custom cake topper that read “One Day Away,” with cookies filling all the lower tiers. (They used it at their rehearsal dinner!).
Another couple chose to personalize theirs with childhood favorites including chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin wedding cake cookies.

With a custom cookie cake wedding cake, it’s all about embracing creativity and making a statement that will wow your friends and family. And most importantly, if it makes you and your partner happy, that’s what matters most on your big day. Want to take your wedding cake moment to a whole new level?
