plenty of people just have the cake. I'm fine with it but DH says it's not enough food!! i guess it depens on how heavy the mains are.
I've only been to one wedding where there was additional desserts, and that's cause the brides mom can run a bakery out of her kitchen. I think it's fine.
I think that cake is fine for dessert. I've always wondered why people have another dessert besides cake at a wedding. Whenever I've been to a wedding that has something in addition to cake, I never eat the other dessert. It's a wedding! I go there for wedding cake!! (oh, and of course to see the couple get married....haha)
@may_vas: We just had cake. By the end of the evening most people are so full they don't want dessert anyway. I think just having the cake is fine!
I've never been to a wedding that served cake plus additional desserts! Just the cake would be more than enough.
Most weddings I have been to do have multiple desserts and for those that are sweets fans, it's heaven to them but when there is only cake, nobody seems to miss other desserts. I would say the only benefit to the other desserts is there is something for everyone but if that is a concern of yours, you could always have each tier of you cake be a different flavor (one chocolate, one vanilla, etc).
We only had wedding cake for the reception. And since there was some left over, we brought it to the pig roast the next day. There was still wedding cake left over so we fed it to the deer!
Most of the weddings Ive been to have had the dessert be the wedding cake and nothing else in addition!
The majority of folks are used to wedding cake only. It's not necessary to serve additional desserts and most people don't do that.
At our wedding a lot of people didn't even eat the cake (which by the way, was life changingly delicious!). Another dessert would have been a complete waste of money. We cut it because like you it would have been another $5 per head. By the time the cake was served everyone was already tipsy and have going crazy on the dance floor. They didn't want to sit down long enough to each another course!
I think two desserts are too much and can never eat both (and I love sweets) I think you are fine just serving cake
Just cake is fine--that's what's been offered at weddings I have gone to. I was in your same scenario--unsure if I could afford an extra dessert from the caterer, and I asked the manager if I could do a dessert table and bring in my own cookies, brownies, etc. To my surprise, he said YES. So I am doing my candy buffet and a sweets table with some homemade treats. Nothing fancy, but something extra than just cake, without much of an impact to the budget.
I have only been to one wedding that had a dessert other than the cake and I didn't eat the other dessert. Wedding cake IS dessert and there really is no need for anything additional.
We just served wedding cake. In fact, most weddings I've been to didn't serve dessert (other than wedding cake).
We cut the dessert from our caterer's menu since we had the cake and saved money. I think the cake is plenty of dessert and few if any people will think otherwise.
Thsnks guys! I think I will just stick to the cake. At weddings i've been to, they always serve dessert then cake. It must just be an Australian thing.
I think just having cake for dessert is fine! I don't know that I've ever been to a wedding that served a separate dessert!
Our venue jumped from 47.50 entree and main to 59.50 with dessert. Needless to say I wanted to use our cake as dessert but my mum was really pushing dessert. In the end I gave in but it was totally unnecessary, the cake would have been sufficient.
I have been to some weddings with dessert, and honestly I just skip the dessert so I have room for wedding cake. I think two sweets is a little overkill, and cake alone is fine!
I also agree that only the cake is more than fine!! I'm sure no one will miss the dessert!
We're on a tight budget and only serving cake. I've never been to a wedding with additional desserts either. I wouldn't worry if I were you. It's your wedding and whatever you want is what you should do (:
I agree with the PPs. The wedding cake is enough. I have never been to a wedding that had additional desserts besides the cake, it is the dessert.
Wedding cake is totally fine! I myself am doing a small cake to cut and then my bms, family and i are making cupcakes and little desserts for a dessert bar.
I'm only doing the wedding cake and groom's cake. We're going to slice the groom's cake, put it in cute little boxes, and give it to guests as they leave. I've seen recently (on tv) where some brides offer a dessert bar, but to me it seems like too much. We were going to have a candy buffet, but decided to scratch it since we already had two cakes and the groom's cake is serving as a favor anyway.
I'm a little late on this, but here, wedding cake is so expensive that you'd be better off with dessert INSTEAD of cake. :) (Cake cutting + tax +service +$8-12/person for the cake +delivery= a heck of a lot more than $10!!)
I'm ditching the cake and going with dessert!
I think just cake is fine. But maybe I'm biased because that's what we're doing?
Our wedding cake was the only dessert. Granted, it was a cheesecake, but still, I think a slice of cake is plenty for dessert! After a big meal, not many people will have room for more than cake, anyway!
I don't know that I have ever been to a wedding that offered another dessert besides cake. I think cake would be plenty!

Hello everyone
Well, my parents are on a very tight budget for the wedding, and a two course meal at the reception venue we have decided on is $45 per head (entree and main) and a three course meal (entree, main, dessert) jumps up to $50 per head.
What does everyone think about serving the wedding cake for dessert instead? Maybe some fruit and ice cream could be added also?
Do we really need dessert if there is wedding cake?
