We are doing a traditional cake but set up on a massive assorted desert table. Most of our budget is getting hemoraged into food because I feel that is going to be the most memorable part of the wedding.
I want pie or ice cream cake, since I prefer those. We're certainly not doing both dessert AND cake, so we have to choose. We're also getting married on my FH's birthday, so I thought a small birthday cake for him would be nice.
Oh man wish I thought of this before. I would have loved to go with a cookies. But this time around ( renewal of vows) my husband and I are doing small cake for us and cupcakes for the guest's. First time we did traditional 3 layer cake with my favorite flowers made of fondant and our colors of navy blue with silver.
Traditional cake for sure as we love old-school stuff! Will look into some dairy-free options too~

We’re having my best friend/MOH bake us a little naked cake (thinking chai or lemon/lavender) & we’re having a mixed dessert table with pies, bars & cookies etc! Oh, and nixing on the “cake cutting/feeding each other” thing... Nope! Haha
I was going to skip the whole traditional cake thing, but I was swayed by this great baker who does these beautifully artistic cakes with breathtakingly real sugar flowers. So in the end, I will be doing an assortment, one small cake with all the extras, mini cupcakes for the guests who like cake and pies for my hubby to be and those who don't like cake! A little over the top, but you have to do what you like!

Me too!! I don't think my fiancé would mind it but it would be hard to keep it cool without having to worry about fridge space and it would be so pricey!!!

I saw that on some type of social media! The cheese cake looks amazing!! And my fiancé would absolutely love this!! Yeah crazy about the pie thing! Somehow all of these cool ideas seem to come after! A donut tower sounds amazing!!

I don't mind cake but I won't just go out and eat it! That's why I brought my fiancé and his mom to the cake tasting because I am not a huge dessert fan like they are.

I would love a sushi cake but my fiance would not lol to probably just a traditional one
B! I also don't really like cake, so I had a donut tower and a bunch of pies (we didn't stack those though, looks like I missed a trick!)
I also loved the idea of a cake made of cheeses, but my DS isn't nearly as much of a cheese fanatic as I am. We compromised and had a cheese station during our cocktail hour, but no cheese-cake.
If it was a dream/fantasy wedding, I would 100% pick D, a sushi cake!! Made of sushi of course! (Not cake that looks like sushi). For my actual wedding, I am choosing A, a traditional wedding cake.
Im a total fan of naked cakes! they're simple and elegant with very light textures and frostings. Plus you can mix up the berries to whatever's your favorite.
