    What sweets are you serving at your reception? Are you having just one type of thing or a buffet with different selections?

    We had a 3 tier wedding cake (spice cake with apple filling - yum) and we also had an ice cream sundae bar.  It was a huge hit!

    We're having a 3 layer cake with 2 layers of chocolate and 1 layer of almound cake with buttercream frosting. Then our venue comes with a dessert bar, which we've had and it's amazing. It's got cheesecake, eclairs, chocolate cake, cookies, pies, etc.

    We're having one tiered cake that looks like a traditional wedding cake, and then a bunch of layer cakes in other flavors for a cake buffet.

    My wedding is casual and guests will be serving themselves. I'll have wedding cake but not in tiered form (rather sitting on a cake stand in varying height) and also other desserts like cookies, pie, tarts, etc.

    We're having a dessert served with dinner (almond type cake with fresh local peaches and caramel sea salt ice cream), as well as a dessert buffet at 11pm with our cupcakes, various other cakes, cheese buffet, mini paninis and other savories. I will be exploding the stitches on the side of my dress, believe you me!!!

    We're having a cheesecake cake/cupcake. Basically one larger cheesecake for the bridal party, and then small, mini cheesecakes for the guests. However, we will probably have a second dessert in the form of a baked goods buffet at like, 10:00.

    Our buffet also comes with dessert.  The options include a variety of pies, cakes, cheesecake, custard, fresh fruit, a cheese platter.  We're having a 3-tiered wedding cake on top of that, but we still haven't decided on the flavor(s) yet!

    We are having a dessert reception that will include wedding cake, Cold Stone ice cream, and a DIY candy buffet.

    I'm also letting the fam. know via word of mouth that are welcome to bring their own sweets and party snacks if they wish. We hated the catering options of the Bed and Breakfast we went with.  It was too expensive and too limited for me to want to do a full meal, but they did allow outside food for things like desserts and small snacks, so a dessert reception was the best option for us.

    We're doing 8 different kinds of cake and cheesecake from a local bakery. The cakes aren't huge, so it's not as much as it sounds like!

    Cake, and late night cookies.

    I really wanted to do cheesecake, but J has a bunch of family who is lactose intolerant, so ... okay.

    I feel like a lot of the fun ideas I find on blogs for making our wedding unique, he really doesn't like - he's usually like, "That's weird. Weddings are supposed to be xyz" (xyz being what I feel is cliche and am trying to avoid, haha).

    Well I could only choose one option on the poll, but actually I'm doing a cupcake tower as the wedding cake, AND offering a mini-dessert buffet with chocolate mousse in martini glasses, creme brulee in coffee cups, and mini key lime tarts.  I love desserts, theyre the fave part of any meal for me!! LOL
