Cake walk
The best part of planning so far? Tasting cakes.
I always thought wedding cakes were supposed to be boring white cakes with white icing, but I quickly found out that there are options!
Fruit fillings, whipped cream, chocolate mousse, buttercream frosting, fondant…so many choices and each one seems better than the next. I can honestly say that this was the easiest decision we've made. But, then again, I have a huge sweet tooth so anything with sugar sounded good to me! We ended up going somewhat traditional with the design and only deviated when it came to choosing fillings.
But I want to know about some of the nontraditional options out there.
Are you doing a cupcake tree? Or maybe a cake with chocolate frosting? Or maybe an all organic cake?
Or maybe no cake at all?
Give us ideas for alternatives to white wedding cakes.
In the meantime, check out these wedding cake tips.

No cake! We don't like cake and the cake rarely gets eaten since everyone just wants the bar to open. So we are just have cookies, which is costing about $60 instead of $300-400. Yippee for no cake!

I attended a wedding and reception last summer and to my delight at the reception, instead of the usual, expected traditional wedding cake, which is what appeared to the eye was....Cheesecake! It was beautifully designed like a wedding cake and from afar and upclose one would have never guessed that it was a cheesecake. The bride and groom also had a slightly smaller traditional wedding cake made with each layer a different flavor such as top layer-vanilla, second layer-lemon and the bottom layer chocolate for those who didn't favor cheesecake, which most did.
