Hi all, I'm relatively new to the forums here, and have never posted on this one, so I thought I'd say hi first! Our wedding is in October and we've already covered a lot of the main vendors, but are still working on a few, including dessert.
My question is about my dessert ideas. My fiance and I are huge ice cream people, and most people know this about us, so we want to have an ice cream sundae bar catered as our primary dessert. However, I also wanted to have the cake cutting tradition but realize people would expect cake if they see us cutting a cake, albeit small.
To cover the cake aspect, I was thinking I could do cake pops with each person's name and table number as escort cards/favors. I'm not sure if that really covers it though, and if people will still be wanting to cake... I would assume so. I just don't really want to have three desserts (cake, cake pops and ice cream), so I'm wondering how I should work it out or what I should cut out. The ice cream is non-negotiable, but the cake pops vs. cake or lack thereof is negotiable.
Should I cut out the cake cutting and just stick with the cake pops and ice cream? Or does it matter? Or should I have a small cake for traditional cake cutting, supply sheet cake slices for those who want it, and just do something different for escort cards/favors?
I know that's a lot of questions, but I'm just figuring there's someone out there who has done something similar or has some better ideas, so I thought I'd get some input.
Thanks!
