Cake pops instead of cake

Serious question Alecia- do you eat the groom cakeball or do you eat the bride cakeball? (I'm not being snarky- love the cakeball idea and the presentation looks rad).

Glad to see that you are looking into more servings per guest. I think that's most important right now.

Also I don't think anyone's crazy.. they are simply advising you on etiquette, isn't that why your here in the WW forums? To make your wedding the best it can possibly be? These ladies and gentlemen have reminded many people about details they have forgotten. I'd rather WW tell me my idea sucked then to piss of a huge amount of guests. This forum is for guidance. Yeah I think everyone was taken back at how little you care about your guests at the part when you say things to the effect of the wedding only revolving around you and your FH..but you seem to of forgotten that you have nearly 300 people you are hosting... not 300 peasants at your disposal queen bride.

If you don't wanna care for anyone's needs then don't invite them.

Again not being rude, I'm clarifying why you got the responses you did.

@savanah there is a way to give your view on things to help someone and there is a way of passing judgement in which there are some on here who have passed judgement then as you can see in the beginning those who gave ideas and advice. The case of me only being concerned with us thats reality and no book show can change my view the wedding is about our love and those who attend are there to help support period i would never say they are peasants im just saying you can not please everyone who attends your wedding if i had cake someone will not like the cake someone will think i could have had someone make a better cake so you can not go off what everyone else does at their wedding or you will be unhappy with your day.

Those who attend will be taken aback with the lack of thought you put into properly hosting them. Whether you want to believe it or not; those who are "nearest and dearest" to you will leave your wedding and complain the entire way home if you continue with this attitude. People are simply trying to show you that not everyone likes cake pops and you should provide another option for ALL your guests regardless of what you like. Not everyone likes cake, therefore your cake pop obsession will work for them. YOU NEED TO GIVE YOUR GUESTS OPTIONS not just a different flavor cake pop.

Eh. Not a big fan of cake balls but you're right to an extent. You do get to decide if you serve cake, cupcakes, cake balls, or any other kind of dessert. However, and I only say this because you very clearly said that you don't care about properly hosting your guests because it's all about you and your FH, if you have cake and cake balls then there needs to be enough for everyone to have a slice of cake and a cake ball or three. If you truly don't care, cut the guest list to siblings and parents and do the photo op cake cutting and then have your cake pops for everyone. It makes no sense to invite 300 people and not care if they are properly hosted. If you don't care enough about them to ensure that then don't invite them. I'm only doing 40 people which is 20 more than I care to host but I plan to host them to best of my ability because I do actually care about them. It's just not a big deal if they show or not. Honestly, if FH ever gives me the green light to elope I'm jumping on it and running so far with it that we'll be married before he can change his mind back to the family and friends wedding. You might want to consider eloping if you're that cavalier about properly hosting your guests who were apparently important enough for you to want to invite in the first place. Unless this is a gift grab and you think more people equals more gifts. In which case, it makes sense why you don't care that the people you care about are properly hosted in every aspect of the wedding.

@tiffany I agree that there are nice ways to share your view, and rude ways. You get to chose whatever desserts you want! The biggest issue was only serving one per person. Now that you are serving more that is much better.

Absolutely, guests are there to show their support in your union of love. And because of this, the reception is to thank them for that. Their presence, their gifts, their well wishes. Show some gratitude towards your guests taking time out of their life to care about yours. That's all anyone's trying to get across here. If it makes you feel better to say the day is all about you, then say it. But you still need to make sure your guests needs are being met. You can't please everyone but if you put the effort in the please the majority and do your best, people will recognize that. I might not like cake but it's provided for those who do/don't just because. I think it's a kind gesture to think of someone besides yourself especially since all eyes will be on you as a hostess.

@og alecia i love it! i love different weddings

Your attitude towards your guests are really disgusting. It's more sad that you think people are only coming to your wedding to get "wasted" and not share the joy of your day with your FH.

Your menu doesn't sound that great either honestly so after eating baked chicken and tilapia

(google tilapia farms its disgusting) but I know you dont care about what you feed your guests. YES i would want more that ONE cake pop.

@savanah trust me everyone one family and friends knows we are only doing cake pops and they loved the idea. The only purpose of this post was to get ideas on how to display them period. i keep trying to tell everyone my family knows me and i know them they dont care about things like the cake when it comes to eating it so just because someone else who is not coming to my wedding feels i should do cake or i need to cut my list doesnt mean i will. The guest are not being neglected because i am not giving them options they will get cake pops they will have food, drinks, music i just am not going to do a cake.

@ashleydanielle we went based off what our guest eat and what we enjoy to eat im sorry you dont like talapia but we do. They will be enjoying the day with us we all plan on getting wasted and enjoying ourself im sorry if thats not how you and yours like to party but our family and friends do

@Tiffany, since you only seem to want answers on the display, I think a few towers of cake pops presented on cupcake tiers would look great. Maybe one flavor to one tier (or tower) if you're doing multiple? That way they don't take up too much table space.

I'm just gonna let my other thoughts on how you're hosting go as everyone else has already said them and you are just ignoring them anyways.

It doesn't matter if you personally don't like cake you need to order at least a sheet cake in addition to the cake balls

@tiffany some of my cake pops will look like roses and will be in vases. Similar to this but different colors and different vase. It will look more like bouquets. The others are just sparkly so they will be on a tiered platter dish.

I'm doing it that way because all my cupcakes will be frosted to look like different types of flowers I like but they will be labeled since they will be different flavors.

My cake is 3 tiers so it's plenty for those who don't like cupcakes or cake pops but it doesn't have a flower theme. I thought doing the cupcakes and cake pops themed would be cute.

Cake pops are more truffle like than cake, but if you're only having cake pops as a dessert I absolutely advise to have 2/3 per person . If you're offering other desserts then one per person is okay. I would do them without the stick and have then tiered on a stand below the cutting cake .

@Savanah those are gorgeous! What are the petals going to be made out of? Modeling chocolate or fondant?

@savanah i love those to bad i dont like flowers lol but i love your display and theme thats cute.

@little demon they will be chocolate. And thank you!!

@tiffany thanks! I'm not a huge flower fan myself but I think it's going to make a beautiful display!! I went over the top with my cake display haha. It's going to be pretty awesome looking from what I have pictured in my head so we will see!! (:

@Savanah, modeling chocolate doesn't taste the best, so I would warn people before they just stick the whole thing in their mouth lol

@little demon I took a guess haha. I'm actually not sure what it was but it was sooooo good when I tried it. I thought it was chocolate lol.

@Savanah, maybe your baker just has a really great recipe that actually tastes good

Either way, I love the idea
