Wedding Cake - Necessary or Not?

We're getting just a small cake for us and whoever wants a slice but we're also getting cupcakes, and other small desserts for everyone

Not a complete necessity, but I believe some type of dessert is. We will be having a cheesecake for our cake since the FH isn't a fan of regular cake and donuts for sure for our guests! I'm still debating on having a few other little treats like cookies or brownies just so there's a little variation as well.

Cake is necessary. But not one of those over the top 5+ tier cakes. 3-4 maximum.

This is so necessary to me. A staple I couldn't miss out on. I love cake and so does my FH. I did consider donuts too though.

Totally not necessary. We were actually thinking pie for a really long time. The venue we chose came with a free wedding cake though, so we'll be doing it.

I don't think it's necessary per say but it is most definitely traditional.

What kind of other dessert options did you have?

View Quoted Comment We had mini cheesecakes, Oreo pudding shooters, banana pudding shooters, donuts, and cookies!

My big day cake is a sure deal for me, nothing ever give me joy than that cause i'm a cake addict lol.

My wedding wouldn't be complete without a wedding cake. I would love to have a dessert table as well.

We're having cake, but not a "wedding cake" with tiers and what not. I'm having a friend bake several of her amazing cream cheese poundcakes. It's my absolute favorite cake in the world. Honestly the more I looked at wedding cake ideas on pinterest the more I didn't like them.

Definitely necessary...

I don't believe it is necessary, mostly because it is a new day and age. Plus many couples are doing cake or a dessert. We aren't doing this part. I really don't even like cake.

A dessert of some kind is necessary. A wedding cake is optional.

I don't think a wedding cake is necessary! At the last three weddings my FH and I attended, we don't remember ever having (or even wanting to have) any of the wedding cake, but we sure do remember the dessert spreads. We are planning on having a very small two-tiered "naked" cake to cut and maybe have ourselves and a s'mores/donut bar for all the guests. Easy and inexpensive!

For me yes! I have always dreamed of a wedding cake! We aren't going too big of extravagant, but will def have one!
