Cake vs cupcakes

I did a traditional cake just because I liked the look of it. However if you want variety then doing an assortment sounds fun too

I prefer the look of one big cake because I think it's more elegant but I'm not opposed to cupcakes around a two tier cake if it's much cheaper!

Personally I think you should do what you and your future spouse prefer for dessert. My FH and I are not cake people but b/c my FH's grandmother is very traditional and freaked out when we talked about skipping cake, we are having a cake that will serve 90 and then we're having a dessert bar around the cake so guests can take their pick of what they want. We're also adding togo boxes and the desserts will also act as wedding favors.

View Quoted Comment Just curious did you have a lot of cake left over?

Im doing a two tier cake ,cupcakes,cake-pop,chocolate covered pretzels and mini donuts only because throughout the reception ppl can snack or grab on their way out!!! Its w.e. you want I do believe in having a cake overall.

View Quoted Comment I actually didn't ! But I did have a candy buffet table and I had a lot leftover from that. I also had another served dessert and that had a ton of leftovers.

We’re doing a single tiered cake for the cake cutting and then cupcakes for the guests! We wanted to do that so we had a variety of fun flavors for our guests. 😊 I never even thought of doing other sweets! I think that’s a great idea.

View Quoted Comment Are you just doing one cupcake per guest or how are you planning the numbers lol

We're doing cupcakes...2 per guest with some extras. Granted, we are only having 17 guests total, but rather spend the money on a cake that will likely not get totally eaten, cupcakes are easy and they can take them to go.

View Quoted Comment I’m not really sure yet! We haven’t gotten quite that far in planning. Haha. We’re having between 50 and 60 guests so I would say maybe 75-85 cupcakes? I’m sure some will eat more than one, but some won’t eat any. I know I’ll definitely eat more than one. 🤣

We did a 2 tier wedding cake as well as a bunch of desserts. Each tier was a different flavor. Then we had mini cheese cakes, Oreo shooters, banana pudding shooters, donuts, and cookies. Our baker made all of it.
We chose this idea because it gave our guests options instead of forcing everyone to eat cake if they wanted dessert.

We are having cupcakes but I keep wondering if I should add some more desserts too!
