The more and more I think about it I am wanting to do a mix of traditional and modern. Like most have said the mix would be a small cake for myself and my FH and cupcakes in varying flavors for the guests. I may also add chocolates as well. There's a fabulous chocolate candy store across from my job that makes chocolate to die for!

Traditional cake, but my venue does a dessert trio so it will be our wedding cake and two other desserts of our choosing (one will be a chocolate gluten free cupcake)

It has always been my dream to have cheesecake potions instead of the traditional wedding cake but I think the real decision will be made when we look at pricing!

I am leaning towards a cake cupcake combo. We will have a cake big enough for cutting.
