Both. We're having a 2-tiered wedding cake (but it's not traditional at all) and we're having 3 mini dessert options passed around.

Modern. We have a small two tier cake for ourselves. For guests, we have six different flavor options of cupcakes. Then for our favors, we are doing cider donuts!

Modern! We're doing a smaller cake (probably two tier). Our caterer is doing a flaming donut bar and my mom is coordinating other desserts - probably petit fours, etc.

We are having a small, 2 tiered, cake for cutting and for the guest who would like cake (it is actually delicious!). But we are also doing a dessert bar with a bunch of other options.

We're having a traditional wedding cake but will also have other desserts! We're planning on having a candy table and chocolate fountain with fruit, marshmallows, and pretzels. Both of my brothers had a candy table at their weddings with the couples' favorite candies. The candy got eaten more than the cake!
