Wedding Trend Wednesdays: Not So Traditional Cakes

Hey Dolls,

Oh.my.goodness.  Can you believe I am actually doing a "Wedding Trend Wednesday" post on an actual Wednesday?!  *cue hallelujahs from the heavens* I mean, I was pretty proud if I do say so myself.  Sorry for the slacking.  I feel like I'm giving myself a bad rap haha  I'm really on top of things I PROMISE!!!  Anyways, I have been thinking about this topic for a bit, (maybe because I really like cake/desserts/anything sugar, or maybe because I'm just good at catching trends...yeah, we'll pretend it's the second one... :) ) and decided to finally do it.   

We all know about the traditional style wedding cake, yeah?  Well, I've actually seen some cool, imaginative ways to do something other than cake   So, let us eat cake!  Or not.  Either way, we're getting our sugar on.

Not So Traditional Cakes:

The Pie Cake:  LOVE this idea.  Perfect for any outdoor wedding.  And, hello.  Pretty sure pie is less fattening than wedding cake.  Or maybe I just made that up.  Either way, I think it should definitely be an option.  Birds included. 

  The Cupcake Cake: Okay now here, is where I'm gonna be straight up.  Not a big fan of the cupcake cake.  I feel like everyone and their dog has done them.  Normally, they either look too full or super scarce.  But!  I did find this one picture that I liked.  They just look so dainty don't they?  Super cute.  And, it does cut down cost.  I'm takin' that extra money to Tiffany's the bank!

The Doughnut Cake: Can I just make a really funny side note?  I typed "elegant cupcake wedding cakes" into Google and I got doughnuts.  So classy.  And apparently, the new cupcake? K no but for reals.  I think this idea is so stinking adorable.  And super fun.  Who doesn't like doughnuts.  Chocolate?  Yes. Sprinkles?  Yes.  Glazed?  Yes.  All of the above?  GENIUS.

The Krispie Cake: Snap, crackle, and POP, this idea is amazing (too corny :-s ?) Sooo...let's just say I don't know if I could ever do this.  I think I'd take the whole bottom layer, walk around with it under my arm, and eat it all throughout my reception. That is how much of a fan I am of Krispies.  Advantages:  It won't melt, or go bad super quick or get stale (do they?  I don't know, I've always eaten them all before that could happen).  Disadvantages:  No cake shmushing.  It's always a sad day in the wedding world when there's no cake shmushing.

The Cake Pop Cake: Yuummm.  I like this idea because you still get the cake, just in smaller doses.  And these would be good for on the way home if you didn't want to eat them there.  I have MAJOR respect for cake pop makers.  I've been there.  It ain't fun!  The chocolate gets all sorts of crazy.  And then you just have to lick it off your fingers.  It's like an unwritten rule.

So there ya have it my honeys!  I think you can pretty much choose any one of your's and the future hub's favorite desserts and make it work.  Creativity is key, people!  Until next time!

Cheeks,

Ash :)
