The Cake Debate

Cakes are pretty, they are tasty and delicious, but I've never been one for the big giant fancy wedding cake. Funny story, my co-worker told me when her sister got married in the early 90's, they rented a fake wedding cake, just for pictures! Too weird!

Seeing as BFF and I are opting for the simple yet fun approach for our wedding day, we are playing with a few different ideas for the dessert debate.

Idea #1

Cupcakes

Now this is not a totally unique alternative wedding cake idea, but I think it's darn cute and a perfect size for something sweet. Look at these absolutely stunning masterpieces at Cake Journal. How pretty would those be on a sweet table!?

Or check out these beauties from Cupcake Delight. They are like a work of art! These pictures were found through The Bride's Cafe.

 

  

Idea  #2 A Mixed Dessert Table

Why not offer guests a variety of different deserts? BFF loves Tiramisu, apple crisp and Key Lime pie. I enjoy truffle desserts, sponge cake with fruit and anything cheesecake. I like this idea because there is bound to be something that every guest enjoys. 

Idea #3 A Sweet Table

Have you heard of Amy Atlas? She is the New York Queen of amazingly sweet table designs! Her work is immaculate when it comes to matchy-poo goodness. She always works off of a festive theme that is incorporated into the food that sparks a delightful table of drool worthy, oogle worthy greatness. (Can you tell I like her stuff?) I believe that all her work is inspirational and can be mimicked to reproduce something for our wedding. I LOVE candy. So this is fitting. And it can also be used as a favor at the end of the night for guests to take home a little bit of sweet love. 

Her website does not allow copying of her photos....so PLEASE click here to view her amazing work.
