The dinner for our wedding already includes a dessert table (cakes, pies, cheesecake, etc), and since we weren't crazy about the cake we've tried, we're probably not going to get a wedding cake. One less vendor to hire and 500+ dollars to spend elsewhere or just keep in our pockets.
Will anyone even notice that we don't have a cake? Out of those who notice will it even make a difference to them?
Lots of couples don't have a traditional wedding cake. I've seen some brides even have pies, which is something I considered! I think we're going with pies and cupcakes. Don't feel like you MUST have something at your wedding because the Wedding Machine tells you to!
nope no one will notice. We're also having a dessert buffet and getting a small, one tier cake for cutting and pictures. But seriously, no one will notice or care with all the other goodies.
If you want to do the traditional wedding cake, just select the cake that's easiest to decorate; or put a cake topper and cut it. Or even more fun, do a cake cutting of every cake...
Most of the time when you think about wedding cake you thinka bout the couple cutting the cake, more than what the cake looks like.
I do not miss cake when there's other dessert. in fact, given the choice between a dessert table with a selection and only wedding cake, I'd rather the dessert table.
oh, my wedding was cakeless, but with other desserts. we had cookie stacks as favours that looked like little cakes, and we facetiously cut one as our "cake cutting."
I agree with everyone above and especially with MrsFroggy's point that the cake-cutting is more central than the cake itself. That is one thing to think about, though - how many traditional-type guests will wonder about that little bit of ceremony? And do you want that? Just something to think about... doesn't require a real cake, for sure! You can just have a cutting of your one favorite dessert if you decide you want that.
haha! I thought that after I finished my message. You should have, like, 10 cakes... and make your guests' mouths water as you ceremoniously cut and have photos taken of each and every one of them.
Hi y'all,
The dinner for our wedding already includes a dessert table (cakes, pies, cheesecake, etc), and since we weren't crazy about the cake we've tried, we're probably not going to get a wedding cake. One less vendor to hire and 500+ dollars to spend elsewhere or just keep in our pockets.

Anyone else going to have a cake-less wedding?
