    Traditional. the cake was a must for me. our caterer may also be serving another desert (haven't ironed out the menu yet) but no question there will be a 4 tiered white wedding cake and maybe a two tiered grooms cake

    We might do both, I definitly want a cake that I can design, but we might do a bigger sheet cake in the back so that we don't totally destroy the fancy beach cake.

    I love donuts and my FH doesn’t really like cake. We are going to do a small cake just to cut and a donut display of some kind. I can’t wait!

    Definitely modern! Looking to do maybe a two-tier cake with cupcakes. I'd love to do doughnuts but I don't think FH is gonna go for that!

    Traditional but that's what the venue offers. We'll have a 3 tier cake with 3 different flavors

    No cake tasting for us since it's a DW Smiley smile The top layer is lemon with lemon filling then it's white cake with strawberry mouse and then chocolate with chocolate fudge. My son picked the top one, I picked the middle and FH picked the bottom

    My mom and future mother in law are going to help, were still deciding flavors but I'm thinking 4 flavors. Millionair pie and apple are on the list so far.

    Traditional cake, because cake was included in our package. But it wasn't a traditional wedding cake look.

    That's great, Tiffaney! Smiley heart You have a great support system and I think it's so cool that you're doing the dessert yourself.

    Okay....YES to millionaire pie!!! Totally unique and I feel like this pie doesn't get enough love! Smiley heart And of course, you can't go wrong with apple pie, too. Smiley heart
