I don't want a stupid cake.

We are doing cupcakes, and having a cheesecake to cut.

Maybe get a pie for you two to cut? Maybe that is why your mom is insisting on having a cake.

IDK what it is about the cake cutting tradition and moms being so insistent about it.

You never HAVE to do anything that you don't want to do. I think the cake provides for a great moment with the photographer, and people will notice if you don't do it. Maybe you could do a small cake (just the top tier for example) just to do the cutting but not to feed to people? In the end, it's up to you and your FI

Aw, Mom, she gave in to the purple dresses, I bet she warms up to this too.

Or....just get a small cake and have it decorated it "Thanks, Mom" and brought out to her at the reception

Your desserts sound awesome and will be plenty. But when I opened this, the first thing this fat kid thought was "I'll eat your stupid cake!"

I also agree with GameCox that your desserts sound off the chain! Can I be invited?! lol

I didn't want a cake. We ordered a couple hundred donuts of different varieties. My aunt insisted on a cake to cut, so she made a small one, but I don't think anyone ate any of it. Cake vs. Donuts. Donuts won.

I'm not having a cake We are having cupcakes, a candy bar, and cookies. We're not doing the ceremonial cake-cutting, either. He can feed me a cupcake if he is so inclined

Tina BoBina she might not relent on this!

I guess I'm just worried that if we do the cake cutting thing and don't serve cake then people will be like, "Hmm, where is my cake?". I'd rather just bring out a plate of the cookies and we'll feed each others though and then do our milk shake shot instead of the whole cake cutting thing.

We had a sheet cake from Safeway and some cookies that MIL made. Dessert doesn't have to be over the top - people just want to eat it, not gawk at it!

I think you could have fun with skipping the cake - you could always break a cookie in half and share it instead of cutting a cake. Bonus points if you take the pic while holding a Cookie Monster doll.

Maybe you can have a small cookie cake to cut into. She might want that cakecutting moment. Or she might be worried that people won't realize that there isn't cake. If you cut a cookie cake then she gets that moment and ppl understand that their cookies are the cake and you can have something delicious to freeze and eat on your 1 yr anniversary. If cookie cakes freeze well, I don't even know if they do or not.

Superman and Tina BoBina...do you guys have an Insomnia Cookies at Michigan State or U Michigan?? Its a company that started at UPenn here in Philadelphia that does delivery cookies that come in a pizza box.

Seriously though.... can I come to your wedding?

We're only having a 4 inch cake so that we can have something to cut. It cost us 20 dollars lol.

Maybe put some cookies and other things you like with the Milkshake bar? I feel like that should be enough sweet for people.

Neither of us like cake either so we are having an ice cream bar! I just got this set up last week so I am super excited.

I didnt want one either, we decided to do cupcakes and then FH decided he wanted a cake. ugh so we compromised and got a smaller cake and instead of a sheet cake in the back there will be cupcakes. at least itll decorate the table more?

We have Insomnia here at Carolina, but I have never eaten any. Apparently they will deliver until 3am or later.

Guests won't be looking for cake, especially if you have other sweets. More than half of the weddings I go to, I don't like the cake flavor, so I just pass anyway.

I would go to your wedding in a heart beat and likely won't miss a cake!

No cake here. Neither of us like it. We love donuts, so that's what we're doing. We plan on a donut cutting.

I think your set up sounds awesome. I love the shot.

I think feeding each other cookies is fine-- definitely don't have a small cake that won't feed everyone-- I never understood why that was better than just not having cake.

Truthfully, people WILL notice that there's no cake. They may be a little sad, but they aren't going to hate you for it.

I want cupcakes (not a real cake fan normally) but I am letting FH decide if he wants a cake or not. I might just ask my mom to make a cake. It might not be fancy like ordering a cake but I love my mom's cakes and it will save money. I guess it depends on how many people we have coming. Although there is a place close to my mom that my sister says makes great cakes called Danielle's Tastebud Tickler I want to order from them just because of the name.

GameCox seriously order Insomnia. It will change your life.

Thanks guys for letting me know that you'd want to come! If we have a lot of no's on the RSVPs, I'll send some your way!

I just feel like having a small cake that doesn't serve everyone would be a waste as opposed to just not having one.
