Wedding cake?

Im actually making a fake cake which is costing me about $30 for 6 teirs. i feel like the wedding cake is wasted. there are so many desserts no one wants cake. also i feel like people arent doing the same boring things at their weddings anymore things are changing up. its so boring watching the couple cut the cake. i wont be doing it. while people are eating we are going to pretend we are cutting the cake for a couple pictures and thats all

It is becoming very common especially for venues who include dessert.

We did a wedding cake for ourselves and family. So we had a smaller cake made, split it with the family, and then froze the rest for our anniversary next year.

Our venue also included dessert, so I didn't want to spend the money on a huge cake when half the people at our wedding didn't even eat the dessert.

Do what works best for you! You could do a little one just for you guys to cut and take pictures and then bring it home with you!

We almost opted out of the wedding cake tradition because our caterer offers dessert with the meal, but then I had cupcakes from this local bakery and I just had to ask the owner to do them for my wedding, to which we added a small 6" cake to cut for ourselves. I don't think guests would've minded either way since the dessert from the caterer that FH and I chose is truly amazing. Plus our wedding favours are sweets/food related too, so I'm sure there wouldn't have been any complaints if we didn't do cake/cupcakes. It truly is an added expense that's not necessary to everyone any more since most venues/caterers have desserts included, so it's entirely up to you and your FH

Like Kelsie we will be cutting our cake without letting the guests know, ours will be served with the “midnight” table of sweets and savoury for those who have enjoyed the open bar!

I also agree that there is nothing wrong with not having a cake, I can honestly say that in all the weddings in my lifetime I don’t remember ever seeing the bride and groom cut the cake.

We didn't have a cake - the tradition wasn't important to us, and similar to you, our venue supplied dessert as well. I didn't hear any complaints or comments about it at all.

My DH just passed that age for his older cousins and he is the second to get married out of his group of friends so we think we will still have a few more coming our way before my friends get married (he's 29 and I'm 22) - but of the 3 weddings we have attended including our own we have not seen the cake get cut. HOWEVER - for one of those wedding's the Bride and Groom posted pictures later and apparently they did in fact cut it! lol

For our wedding we had a korovai which doesn't get cut and my Baba made it so that saved a ton of money

From the weddings I've been to recently, cake cutting isn't popular anymore. Some people still cut the cake and do it in private (this is what we're doing - we won't interrupt the dancing so people can watch us cut cake).

You can even rental a fake cake for show if you want that you don't cut at all!

I don't think there's anything wrong with not having a cake. If your reception goes into the evening though, a midnight snack would be appreciated by guests. Again, that is voluntary as well but we are going to do it to get all the alcohol soaked up!
