New-Age Indian Sweets To Serve At Your Wedding (Really Yumm Stuff!)

Tired of Gajar halwa and random strawberry and vanilla ice-cream mash-ups at your wedding dessert counter? Worse, you had enough of gulab jamuns and rasgullas and your caterer in a bid to give you some western inspiration serves you dried cheesecake and mousse that's watery? Yep, the only option you have now is jalebi but somehow the fact that it's the only one that works is mildly annoying. Because you want more for your dessert table. That's why we put together a list of 10 amazingly cute Indian desserts that will rock a new-age wedding with ease from our favourite food bloggers / websites. Try and experiment a little - ask your caterer to try out new things and you'll have Indian sweets with the ideal twist. Sweetening the deal heh!
