CAKES

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.
