Another place where couples have been catering to their personal preferences is dessert!! The traditional multi-tiered wedding cake is no longer a staple of every wedding reception, with cupcakes, cookies, candy, pies, and donuts joining the party! Will you have a traditional wedding cake, or a...

I love the ice cream truck idea. I don't want a cake. I love more small bite desserts. This sounds awesome though.

Modern! No wedding cake because neither my FH nor I are very big fans. We will be having donuts instead!

Modern: We're having a smore's bar and foregoing any formal cake. Neither of us are big cake people and our venue offers a smore's bar as part of their catering menu. We thought it would be a cool way to give guests something to do if they aren't big dance people. There will be a couple different flavors of marshmallows, graham crackers and an assortment of different chocolate options (reese's peanut butter cups, rolos, cookies and cream bars, traditional hershey bars).

Traditional cuz every wedding we have been too thus far of our friends has been untraditional! Must say I am not a fan! I want that wow factor with my big 4 tier cake. Can't wait! My mom is also making an assortment of cookies!

Both - we are having a cake, but we are also having a cookie table (I'm from Pittsburgh, and it's basically a sin not to have one at your wedding)

We're having a two-tired cake to cut, a sheet cake probably, and we're having other sweets too, like chocolate chip cookies and apple pies

We will have a small cake for us to cut but dessert for guest will be dessert shooters, strawberry shortcake, Mississippi mud pie, and blueberry cobbler.

Cake but it will be a Buche de Noel - aka a chocolate Swiss roll so more frosting to cake ratio! We will have cream cheese frosting and there will be 3 cakes total - the regular chocolate, a white chocolate and a dark chocolate. All with meringue mushrooms and holly berries for decoration.
