For the reception would you rather have a four or five tier cake or a two tier cake and cupcakes and sweets table?

    We are going the cupcake route. There will be a small cake for my wife and I, as well as the bridal party to share but the guests will be offered cupcakes.

    This is what we are doing. We are having a 2 tier cake (2 flavors) that serves 50 and then doing a dessert bar. We will have Oreo and banana pudding shooters, cookie sandwiches, and mini cheesecakes.

    I did the cake but in hindsight should have done the smaller cake and cupcakes

    That's a tough question! I guess which ever would cost less.

    We have a candy bar, a two tier cake and two cakes of different flavors to the side. I’m still looking at potentially making a fake wedding cake though

    I am having a two tier cake with cupcakes . I hate going to a wedding and eating cut cake or any party for that matter. Cupcakes are easily light and convient. I am so guilty of getting a big slice of cake at a wedding and not finishing it , money wasted . Cupcake are perfect!!!!

    Smaller cake with a sweets table all the way and I would eat all the desserts! (Though I know I shouldn't.) Every time I go to a wedding I see so much cake just stiing at eat place setting not being consumed. A sweets table allows people to pick what they want.

    I had both... my cake was 3 tiers but they added cupcakes to cut the costs for me. So cupcakes are definently cheaper.

    Would you rather 2

    I think people would prefer that variety in desserts. We are doing a 3 tier cake and that’s it. Though we don’t care about cake or sweets at all. A big dessert spread sounds amazing and a 5 tier cake would look spectacular, but it’s not going to have the variety of little cupcakes and treats. If i was a dessert person I’d do the variety, if I was going for a visually stunning cake I’d do the 5 tier.
