    Need to have! However a wedding cake can be done so many different ways - Cupcake bar, donut cake, etc. Not all wedding cakes are your traditional wedding cake Smiley smile

    Nice to have. We’re personally doing a small cake to cut for just us and then supplying our guests with cupcakes since it’s a lot more simple that way and people can just grab and go instead of having to have a designated person cutting a big wedding cake

    It was a need for me. FH isn’t a huge sweets eater. I’m opting for a small two tier cake and basic sheet cakes for the guests to help with the budget.

    This was a must-have for us. We also offered a mini-dessert station for those looking for variety.

    This is a need to have for me, but after shopping around and seeing how expensive it was going to be, I've decided to go a different route. I'll be making something similar to this for our wedding day myself (but for 100 people)

    Nice to have. So many alternatives these days but we will have a cake anyway as it is expected among our crowd. So it became a need.

    A need to have for traditional people (me), nice to have if you're more modern and prefer one of the alternatives

    Nice to have, there are many pretty wedding cakes but it wasn't that important to us, with having cake with the meal and a candy table

    Nice to have! We’re not big cake people, so there will be a little one, but a couple other dessert options as well!

    Nice to have but I am not a fan of cake. I was thinking a little cake for us to cut and have that moment, but otherwise we'll have cookies, cupcakes, and an assortment of other desserts.

    Need to have. Even if you have a different desert option for you guests, I think it's still important to have a small cake for you and your future spouse to share.
