I don't want a stupid cake.

LET THEM EAT CAKE! No, jk. If you don't wan it, don't have it.

If your mom is REALLY pushing for it, have her buy it.

Yup, we have one in Ann Arbor

I think your fine without a cake, but you should still have a "cutting" of whatever you please.

I love cake, but even I think most wedding cake tastes like cardboard. I don't think I'd even notice if you didn't have cake. I don't even think I'd notice if you didn't do the "cake cutting" moment.

And I love that other brides have done donuts--I haven't even though about our menu yet, but I've already told FH I want to do donuts instead of cake. I love me some donuts.

We aren't having a traditional cake and aren't doing any kind of "cutting" ceremony. Our whole reception is just cheesecake & coffee. I am trying to figure out what to do about my own children (ages 10 & 11) not liking cheesecake...

I did not care if we had cake. I actually preferred cupcakes when we first started planning but found out FH was adamant on having cake so since he has such a sweet tooth we are having a 2 tier cutting cake for us and sheet cakes for our guests. I am actually really excited about the 2 flavors we chose for our guests and ourselves. Our tasting was delicious!

Cut a big ass cookie! how adorable would that be

OMG, I agree! CUT A GIANT COOKIE! and dip it in milk before feeding the piece to each other. That would be adorable!!!

You can get one of those cake topper buntings to put on it and then who can complain about that!?

We hate cake too! We've had some opposition from parents on this (particularly my dad's girlfriend who is a baker) but I can't stand her so I don't care what she thinks! We're doing 3-5 different flavors of pie and we'll cut/serve one of them to each other for the "cake cutting". Do what makes you happy! Life's too short!

Yeah, I just put FH in charge and said I don't even want to know about anything. He can fight this battle with my mom :-)

Also here are other cookie cake ideas - just for fun. I'm actually doing the oreo one for my FH's grooms cake.

I hate cake....always have always will. We probably wont end up having one with budget restraints

I would miss the cake. In part because I'd wonder when you'd would be cutting the cake and also, I just love cake.

Mmmm cake.

We're having a VERY small sweetheart cake and cupcakes, cookies, eclaires, French macaroons, and canollis. No cake will be served. The stupid cake is just for cutting because my mom insists. But FH and I are notorious nibblers after drinking, so we'll probably eat our cake at midnight back in our hotel room!

I am the same way! I'm more of a brownie girl and would rather have that than cake. I only like the frosting on cake anyways.

OMG I LOVE insomnia!!!

Yea and I don't think your guests will be confused. That's what we're doing. Especially if all you cut is a small cake or pie, they should get the point.

I could see them being confused if you had a huge ass cake, cut into it, and it never got served.

I don't like pie either. I like pie filling but not pie. For a brief minute I did think about mini pies.

We're doing cheesecake, because its both of our favorites. We're just ordering from cheesecake factory, slapping a cake topper on it and calling it a day!

We'll still cut it, but it won't be the grand to do.

I can't imagine a wedding without a cake, but that's because I love wedding cakes.

but ifyou don't, then I like Tina BoBina's idea. sounds like your mom is the one that wants the cake anyway.

I agree with you! Cakes are unnecessary, I wouldn't do one, but we have to because it's part of our package and I can't trade it for anything else . But quite honestly we would have been totally fine with just the sweets table that my FMIL wants and the ice cream bar the FH wants.
