Wedding Cake

I guess it's really up to you, but me, personally, would like to have an option of cake instead of a packaged s'more I have to prepare myself. You can do a sheet cake for pretty inexpensive for the guests wanting cake.

I would prefer cake over

making smores at the

wedding. I think it's a good favor that I would save to make at home.

Smores are yummy .. but so messy .. I ruined a cute pair of shoes when my marshmallow slipped out of a smore. I would do cake , pie. Cookies ect.. something else

I would go with a non-traditional dessert you both like as an alternative and use the s'mores as a favor or a fun activity for anyone who wants to participate. That is what my god-brother did, and it was a hit!

I don't care if it's wedding cake necessarily, but I think there should be some alternative prepared dessert. Maybe a dessert bar with donuts, pie, pastries, or something else? S'mores would be super fun in my opinion but I know not everyone will like them!

I love cake, so I would be disappointed.

A dessert bar with cookies, cupcakes etc is a good alternative and I personally would rather have that as a guest because I almost never eat cake. Kids LOVE dessert bars too so if you are having kids at the wedding it will be a big hit! You could include some bags too if people would rather grab something and take it home.

We had a S'mores bar and we also had cake. The cake was much more popular. Not everyone likes S'mores. Personally, I don't like marshmallows. I eat the chocolate and graham cracker only and would be a little bummed if that was my dessert.

I'd defineatly would look at dessert options for guests, it doesn't have to be cake though. I'm pretty sure we are going to do a donut tower. We also don't really like cake.

I agree with pps that you should look at having at least one other dessert option. Doesn't have to be cake, but that way people can just eat something readily available rather than having to make it themselves.

S'mores are a cute favor/ wedding activity, but I'd be bummed if that were my only dessert option.

Knowing me - I would assume that was my favor and not a dessert and so would be dissappointed that nothing was offered for dessert since I would wait to use the favor at home.

As PPs have mentioned you do not need to serve cake per say - but you do need to serve an actualy dessert to your guests. Lots of brides and grooms are forgoing traditional cake for other options including - cupcakes, donuts, cheesecakes ETC.

Also lots of venues offer add ons - I recently went to a wedding where there was cake served but there was also an ice cream sundae bar so the guests had a choice - which is also an option

At our wedding we are planning on serving cake, the chocolate mousse that the venue provides as apart of our package, and then either doing a smores bar or a creme brulee bar as an add on we can get through our venue. This way our guests have a choice

Yes I would.

Keep in mind that vegetarians can't eat smores unless you make a point of getting special marshmallows without gelatin. If that's the only option for dessert, they won't get anything.

We don't like cake, so we had cheesecake (My favorite) and ice cream cake (H's favorite).

We're doing a dessert bar with coconut macaroons, brownies, mini fruit tarts, and one other (to be decided) option. We are also doing a bonfire with smores, but that is for after everyone is able to change out of their wedding clothes (since they are pretty messy)

We did pies (my "cake") and doughnuts (his "cake") because we don't like cake - I agree with PPs that s'mores are messy, so maybe another dessert alternative in addition?

I would be upset as a guest if there was no dessert. If you're doing a bonfire with s'mores as the favors, I wouldn't consider that a dessert. Many people (myself included) would not want a messy dessert such as a s'more while dressed up. It doesn't have to be cake, but there should be another sweet besides s'mores (mini pies, cupcakes, etc)

I think a lot of brides tend to forget the reception isn't for you. It's for your guests. What you want/like doesn't matter as much as what they want/like. That's why we tell brides and grooms who don't drink that they still need an open bar. S'mores is a great idea to you because you don't like cake, but I would bet the majority of your guests would prefer cake to a messy dessert they have to assemble themselves.

I would be a little disappointed if the only dessert option was a s'more. I love them, but they aren't really what I want to eat at a wedding. If I'm still dressed up, I wouldn't want to get near a bonfire and get smoke on my nice clothes or risk dripping melted chocolate or marshmallow all over myself. It wouldn't be obvious to me that my favor is meant to be dessert, either. I would think it's an extra thing that I have the option to take with me for later, not eat for dessert. I also usually think a s'more is a snack, not dessert. I think it's a nice extra, optional sweet snack, but I think it works best as a supplement to dessert, not a main dessert. My husband would be particularly disappointed if this were his only dessert option as he cannot eat marshmallows.

I don't think you need to have a cake if you don't like cake, but I think another main dessert would be ideal, or at least a display with other small desserts so your guests will feel like they had more than a snack and have the option to avoid the s'mores if they aren't interested.
