    It's a need to have for us! We're doing a small tiered cake plus cupcakes.

    Nice to have. We will be meeting with our baker soon enough to discuss our options but we are leaning towards having a small cake of our own and cupcakes for everyone else but we are open to other options.

    Without a doubt this is definitely a NEED to have! I'm all in favor of extra dessert options. In fact, I had a dessert table at my wedding. The more the merrier for sure! But i definitely think a wedding cake is a tradition that should not be broken.

    Need to have. We don't like cake but we are doing a small one to cut ceremoniously.

    Nice to have.

    You could have a chocolate fountain with multiple dipping options instead. Smiley winking

    It's more nostalgic these days. I'm having one because I love cake.

    There needs to be a dessert and Im definitely still doing the cutting the cake and feeding each other but we won’t be having the traditional tiered cake. I want my dear friend’s cream cheese pound cake.
