Fall is hands down my favorite season for weddings.

There’s just something magical about crisp air, warm-toned decor, and cozy flavors that make every celebration feel intimate and special.

And let’s be honest—no wedding is complete without a decadent dessert table.

This year, I’ve been experimenting in my kitchen and curating a list of 9 fall wedding dessert recipes that are not only stunning but also taste like autumn in every bite.

I had so much fun testing these out, and I’m excited to share them with you.

1. Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

I love these cupcakes because they’re moist, perfectly spiced, and topped with a silky cream cheese frosting that melts in your mouth.

I even added a little caramel drizzle for a fancy touch, and let me tell you—it was a crowd-pleaser.
