Wedding cake

annabananarobslob

I am obsessed with cake right now!! Has anyone noticed that people are not really budgeting for cake like they used to? A lot of people feel like,"it's just cake" and think that it's okay to get an ugly one, or have your little cousin make cupcakes in her EasyBake to save money. Am I the only person who still thinks an ugly cake ruins the effect? Or no cake at all is really dumb? I know that if I get all dolled up to go to a wedding, I want cake!! It is the first thing I check out at the reception. I would rather scrimp on the ceremony decorations than the cake! Plus, there are places you can get a fabulous cake for $2 a serving! That is so cheap! And I have seen cake ladies charging $ 1.25 for some seriously dumpy cake. Sometimes you get what you pay for! When it is your wedding, IT IS NOT "JUST CAKE!!" Do you feel me, or not? Am I crazy?

I completely agree. I'm a total foodie (even thought about pastry school), so the cake was a huge thing for me!! LOVE CAKE!

I agree totally with pps. It's not JUST cake, cake is EVERYTHING! I think it's important to have cake that not only looks great but tastes even better! I'm also a total foodie and was very picky in choosing a cake. Good luck!

I'm probably going to be shot down for saying this but...While I enjoy food and sweets and I do agree that your cake is a centerpiece at the wedding, I find it hard to fork out big money for a cake that not many remember.  I have been to many many many weddings and I don't remember a single cake from any of them...how they tasted or looked.I am not saying I'm going to have a bad-tasting cake or something completely ugly but I do think there are *dare I say it* more important things you could spend that extra money on. (e.g. honeymoon)  After all, which are you going to remember more, cake or honeymoon? Just my opinion.

I guess I'm in the minority here, but I do think it's "just cake."  I love love love sweets, but cake isn't really my thing, and FI doesn't really care for it either, so *gasp* we're not having a cake.  Which I don't think is "really dumb."  Instead, we are having a number of different desserts and a few cupcakes for the cake lovers in our lives.  I sure hope the thing people remember about my wedding isn't the cake (or lack thereof).

I'm with Audge.Podge. First of all, most weddings I attend, I don't even eat the cake.  I do believe that if you do cake, you should do something nice.  There are some crappy looking wedding cakes out there.  And it would be better to not do one at all rather than have an ugly one. Second, my DESSERT will NOT be the focal point of my wedding reception - my new husband and I will.  I, too, would hate if all people remembered from our special day was the cake. That being said - we're not having cake.  And I would beg to differ that we're "really dumb" for not having cake.  What a crappy statement to make.  Just because people don't believe in the things you believe in doesn't make them "really dumb."  How rude. Last, but not least...we ARE having dessert.  We wanted to do something different and are having a cheesecake buffet/bar with plain cheesecake slices and about 20 different toppings for people to choose from.  It will be beautiful and fun and is actually one of the things about the reception that I'm excited about having. AND - to top it all off - I'm not spending an arm and a leg for my guests to enjoy some dessert.  But I bet they'll love it all the same.
