Will I regret no wedding cake?

My coworker is doing a small cake to cut and a desert bar with cookies, brownies, cupcakes, etc. She seems super excited about it and it sounds yummy to me. If it was never a part of your vision, I doubt you will miss it. We are only having a cake because it is included, otherwise I would have gone the dessert bar route, too.

We're going to do a small cutting cake and delicious cupcakes for guests. I've never cared for tiered cakes either, but I don't want boring sheet.

The cake was never a real priority to me either. My cake was included with catering, however I was so impressed with the bakery, how well the cake tasted, and how well it turned out, I can't imagine not having the cake. It was the biggest surprise for the wedding as far as how well it came out. It was a small 3 tiered double layered cake, so it wasn't estravagant. I love cake and cake is standard for any celebration. You don't need a big fancy cake however, but if I didn't do, you'd probably regret it. Plus, as a wedding guest I always stay until at least after I taste the cake!

We are skipping the traditional wedding cake as well. I do not feel like it is worth the money and hassle. We are going with our venue's dinner package with some add ons instead of a wedding package. The dinner package comes with assorted desserts. We are going to purchase a small vegan cake to cut and to accommodate me and the few vegans who will be at our wedding. I say do you. I doubt not having a cake will stand out in your mind years from now.

Cake was also one of my lower priorities. Our venue comes with a desert bar, so I didn't really see the point of a cake. We decided to do his and her cupcakes for the cake ceremony and are doing cupcakes as favors. That way those who want cake can still have it. I think if you have a nicely decorated cake for the cake ceremony that will be a nice way to have a fancy cake without paying a lot.

Nope I didn't have the traditional wedding cake and I don't regret it at all. I had a pineapple upside down cake with red velvet and lemon cupcakes. I just picked my favorite types of cakes.

We're having pies, no cake at all (although I think that my mom is getting a sheet cake for the rehearsal dinner, but I'm not making that menu). I think that having a small cake and then using a sheet cake in the back is perfectly fine. Go with whatever fits your budget, and will make you happy. Some of those Whole Foods cakes are beautiful. Since it sounds like cake is pretty low on your priority list, I'd say forget the big tiered cake. Just find something tasty to serve your guests!

I hate cake but I LOVED doing the cake cutting and that we have our anniversary tier. I didn't want to have a wedding cake but I am glad I did. I even had a "friendor" make it because I figured if something went wrong and there was no cake it would be fine with me. It turned out amazing and I am so happy we had cake. But I don't think we would have regretted not having cake.

If the cake is terrible, it wasn't the right choice of baker. I've eaten plenty of wedding cake in my days as a caterer (and I still recommend that baker in NJ) and they were great. Her sheet cakes are just as good as her wedding cakes, just not as pretty.

BUT if it's not a priority, then don't do it!

Eh. We go back and forth but the more I hear about the price of a standard 3 tier cake vs just getting a few large sheet cakes, screw it.

I'm trying to find some cute cake stands to have a few large round sheet cakes and have them decorated beautifully because I'm finding like..a 3 tier cake for 150 people for $600-$700 vs $50 a piece for a large sheet cake. My plan is to get 3-4 sheet cakes with cake stands in varying heights and have the standard cute cake topper on the highest one.

I'm not saying bakers don't deserve the money for what they do, but. I'm like you and just cant find myself caring to spend that much on cake.

We were at a wedding where the grooms didn't have cake. They just served the dessert that came with the meal. If it didn't bother them then that's all that mattered.

I'm getting married in five weeks and my fiance asked me last night how I felt about not having a cake. What brought this on was seeing that the cake topper that we liked the most was $120. I told him that I needed time to think about it and I'm finding that I'm ok if we go with the dessert that's included with the meal.

From what some of the posters here have written about getting a small cake for cutting purposes, We can just ask for a double slice of the cake option and cut that. No
