Poll: Cake or Cupcakes?

VenetianBride, on May 8, 2015 at 2:35 PM Posted in Planning 0 62

I'm going form y cake consultation tomorrow. FH and I both don't really eat cake and we're not set on what we want, but we know we don't want a bunch of leftover cake. So my question is, when you go to a wedding do you have a preference for cake vs. cupcakes? What is more likely to get eaten? Or does it matter?

    I don't really care, because a yummy sweet is a yummy sweet! But if forced, cupcake

    I just love cake in general! But my vote is for cupcakes. That's what we're having with a cake as the top layer so we'll still having something to cut

    I prefer cake. Cupcakes have too much icing!

    We are doing both.. small tier cake for us to cut/eat and cupcakes for guests. Makes it easier to take at the end of the night in case people don't want to eat cake right away. Also no cake cutting fee/plates/dessert forks, etc. They will be displayed like a tiered cake.

    ETA: Exactly like what @Adoretamm posted ^

    I love both. But I feel like cupcakes may be eaten more and/or are easier to hand out afterwards. You could have them double as your favors too by having little take home boxes for them - much easier with cupcakes than actual cake.

    We're doing cupcakes. That way we can do multiple flavors

    I'd eat it either way. We're doing mini cupcakes so people have a variety of flavors! Plus I got a great deal haha. Smiley smile

    We still have a smallish 2-tier to cut with the 250 mini cupcakes for our ~120 guests. We have cookies, brownies, mini desserts, and possibly additional cake options as well. Hope everyone likes sweets! Haha

    I don't discriminate - I'm just a fan of cake in general. We are having cupcakes, for the primary reason of being able to have many flavors, and so no one has to cut/serve the cake. That being said, I've never met a cake or cupcake I didn't like!

    I prefer cake. I always feel like even though they're pretty, the icing-to-cake ratio is off on a cupcake, LOL!!!
