Individual cakes: cheesy or cheap?

Hannah, on October 23, 2019 at 1:37 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 25
We’ve only got 10 guests, all family, and we’re doing a picnic style reception.

thought this would be a cute idea so we don’t have to cut or serve the cake, as we can’t have caterers on site. My family expects cake, but none of us really eat too much sugar and I don’t want leftover cake. We also aren’t doing traditional reception ceremonies like cutting the cake.

would this come across as cheap or cheesy?

    People do cupcakes, now. Same thing. It's not cheap or cheesy. I think it's cute and you definitely will have enough for everyone. No one will need to worry about a slice!

    I think it's cute! At my cousin's wedding each table had its own cake which I thought was unique and fun.

    Those are really adorable and high class. Not at all like a cupcake.

    I love the idea of everyone getting their own special cake. We are doing cupcakes at our wedding.

    I had individual cakes for each guest and a larger cake (same design as the mini cakes) for the cutting ceremony. It's definitely wasn't cheap nor do I think it's cheesy. It was a big hit with the guests who definitely didn't expect to get their own mini wedding cakes (about 3"x3" square cakes).

    How much did you spend on the smaller cakes, and for how many, if you don’t mind me asking?

    Each mini cake was $17 (including decoration/design and sugar paste orchid). So in all it was about $1300 for 75 mini cakes and the bigger cake for the cutting ceremony. The cakes were a big hit and disappeared faster than any other dessert on the table which shocked me given that a lot of people don't like wedding cake. Here are some pics of my mini cakes and the cutting cake for reference 😊
