Whether you’re a nonconformist or just want to supplement your wedding cake with other yummy treats, these delicious options from the famous Great British Bake Off will stand out from the wedding cake crowd. From finger foods to mini versions of the classics, these are our top 10 Great British Bake Off dessert alternatives that are sure to satisfy everyone’s sweet tooth.
Capuccino Creme Brulees (Judges Recipe)
These incredibly rich and creamy coffee flavoured variations on the classic theme have a more unusual method for creating an extra-crunchy topping. Here the caster sugar is cooked to a caramel and allowed to set, then broken into shards. These are blitzed to a fine sand in a food processor before being sprinkled on to the custards and melted under the grill.
Toms Coffee and Amaretto Kisses
Carefully piped finger biscuits with two delicious fillings: a fluffy ganache of bitter chocolate and a coffee buttercream with amaretto.
Decorated with a lick of melted chocolate and a crunch of walnuts.
Liam’s Salted Peanut Millionaire’s Shortbread
In this version, the classic shortbread base is topped with a salted caramel, roasted peanuts and homemade peanut butter – finished off with a layer of tempered dark chocolate.
Sandy’s After-Dinner Mint Surprise Alaska Tartlets
These rich tartlets combine chocolate biscuit pastry, chocolate custard, mint choc-chip ice cream and a fluffy Italian meringue. The cocoa-rich pastry needs careful handling, but it’s worth the effort.
Steven’s Bakewell Tart Choux Buns
Inspired by bakewell tarts, these crisp choux-pastry buns have a frangipane and homemade raspberry jam filling – all topped off with white glace icing and a truffle cherry.
Stacey’s Lemon Cheesecake Cannoli
Homemade lemon curd is the perfect contrast for these cannoli, made with a touch of cocoa and finished with crushed homemade digestive biscuits and melted white chocolate.
Kate’s Espresso Martini Cannoli
A delicious mix of coffee and chocolate, these cannoli shells are made with a touch of espresso and have an inner coating of dark chocolate. For the filling, dark chocolate ganache, more espresso and a dash of coffee liqueur are added to the traditional ricotta and mascarpone.
Sophie’s Millionaire’s Jaffa Shortbread
A crisp, orange-flavoured shortbread base topped with a salted caramel layer, lively orange ganache and a thin disc of tempered dark chocolate.
Sophie’s Gianduja Cannoli
Traditional Italian flavours are showcased here: crisp cinnamon cannoli shells filled with a rich, creamy combination of roasted hazelnuts, top-quality milk chocolate, mascarpone and ricotta.
Steven’s Milk Chocolate, Almond Praline and Honey Cannoli
A flavoursome and crunchy chocolate praline complements the soft creamy cheeses in the filling of these cannoli shells. The milk chocolate, made with at least 37% cocoa solids, adds a real depth of taste.
