Question for y'all:
We would like to have cupcakes instead of a traditional cake -- there is an awesome bakery near our house and it will be both cheaper and allow guests more choice since we can get a bunch of different delicious cupcake flavors.
But -- to satisfy our own traditional side and our more traditional family, we'd like to have a small 1-tier cake as well.
My question is, how would this work with the cake cutting and saving the top tier (since we'd only have one)? We'd probably get a smaller cake that wouldn't feed all guests because of the cupcakes. Would we still cut the cake, or cut a cupcake? Would we save the whole cake and not cut it at all, or save a cupcake each? What might you think as a guest of these different options? I feel as though it might come across as rude to have a cake tier without cutting it at all, or saving it for ourselves!
Does anyone who has done this or seen it done have any suggestions for how we might manage this?
Thanks for your help!!
