We hired a chocolatier to do a truffle/dessert bar for the wedding instead of a wedding cake. FI really wants to do the ceremonial cake cutting (just an 8-10" single layer cake) and I'm on board with the idea to get the "it's dessert time" ball rolling. Neither of us really care about saving a tier for our anniversary. Problem is, I've talked to every baker I can find and none will do a wedding cake that's really small. All have minimum serving sizes that are way bigger than anything we want/need. I suggested just getting one from a grocery store, but FI doesn't want to do that. I would make it myself, but I just don't want to deal with it before the wedding.
So here's what I was thinking of proposing (this is where I'd like your help):
We are allowed to bring in our own dessert to our rehearsal dinner venue. Would it be a good/bad idea to get a tiered cake for the rehearsal dinner (we're having about 50-55 people) and save a tier from that to use at the wedding?
