Was your decision purely decorative or do you care more about the taste?

    I was set on buttercream since I know it's preferred by most people, but we ended up really liking a fondant cake. We'll get a buttercream one for the bachelor/bachlorette party.

    Buttercream always. Frosting is the best part!

    None of the above (although I probably would have gone buttercream if we had a cake). We had a dessert table with 4 types of cookies, 2 flavors of donuts, 2 flavors of cupcakes, éclairs, cream puffs and 3 flavors of pie.

    Semi naked. I dislike the flavor of fondant and buttercream melts down (I'm getting married at the beach in the Caribbean).

    So true, buttercream is better for an indoor wedding! Semi naked sounds great for a beach wedding!

    Buttercream! Fondant looks cool, but I never understood how the naked cake became popular

    I believe we are doing a peanut butter flavor haha! Two layers of chocolate cake and one of banana. We are having a rustic theme, so the peanut butter color is perfect, and then we will have lace around it with faux succulents!
