Vegan and celiac guests - they can't eat the cake I've chosen, so what do I give them?

A few of my guests are vegan and gluten intolerant. They've specified on the RSVP that they'll bring their own dessert, but I feel like this cheapens my wedding. What do I give them if they can't eat the cake I've chosen?
