Let’s face it, we eat so much at these Bar/Bat Mitzvah celebrations, do we really need dessert?
Many venues offer terrific dessert buffets and some even have beautiful, plentiful candy bars making the need for a Bar/Bat Mitzvah cake unnecessary.
But for the traditional candle lighting ceremony, some families want to have a formal cake so guests can light candles. Recently, a few readers have been asking us about alternatives, so we did some research and have come up many options, minus the formal cake!
