DO I HAVE TO SERVE CAKE?
Not at all! If you don’t want to serve cake at
your wedding, follow your heart and don’t.
Whether it’s to keep costs down, because you
don’t have a sweet tooth, would rather serve
up doughnuts instead or really any other
reason, it’s your celebration. There’s no
reason to designate a chunk of your budget
toward something you don’t see as a crucial
part of your wedding day.
The great thing is, skipping the wedding
cake doesn’t mean your party has to be a
dessert-free zone. The sky is the limit when
it comes to desserts for your wedding. Serve
yourself dessert and popcorn bars are quite
popular, or bringing in a local confectioner to
make custom treats on the spot is a great idea
and always a crowd pleaser.
Don’t think you have to miss out on the
traditional cake-cutting photo opp just
because you aren’t serving wedding cake.
Slice into a pie or share bites of your favorite
cupcake. If that’s not your style, swap it out
for a celebratory toast, linked arms and all.
Find something that reflects you and your
fiance.
PICKING YOUR CAKE FLAVORS
Arguably, one of the most fun parts of
planning a wedding is the cake tasting
appointment. (Appointments if you’re lucky!)
When you meet with prospective bakers, you
will get to taste lots of flavors and filling
combinations. The most important thing
about your cake is that it tastes good. There’s
no possible way you’ll please everyone at
your wedding, so focus on cake flavors that
make your mouth water, and don’t let others’
preferences drive you insane.
If you can’t decide (or agree!) on just one
flavor, there is nothing wrong with mixing it
up and having different flavor layers in your
cake. This may even surprise and delight your
reception guests who will want to try a bite
of everything! You don’t want to pair things
that are too wildly different, but talk with the
baker about your preferences.
