Wedding cake

Not at all. We decided to get a 6” for us and mini cupcakes for guests.


My friends had pie at their wedding

Nothing about weddings is mandatory aside from a license.

It’s not mandatory ! Now a days people skip it entirely or do a version of it like cupcakes

It’s tradition but not mandatory. People have pies, cookies, or donuts.

You don’t even need a cake if that’s not what you want. It’s your day and you should have whatever makes you and your FH happy.

What Chandra said.

Weddings *require*: a marrying couple, a license, and usually a witness.

And you should feed your witness to be polite.

Anything else is optional/extra/for fun.

We had cake, but also a dessert table provided by the caterer. People do candy bars, s'mores bars, ice cream bars, cupcakes, cakes, cookies...

Cakes and cupcakes are the same recipe. So if you aren't a cake person, serve a different dessert entirely like pies/cobblers, cookies, etc

View Quoted Comment YES! Exactly, this all day.

It’s not mandatory. It’s actually something that we’re skipping. It has a long history and was first done for more practical reasons, but all of that is outdated today. It’s nice to serve guests dessert after a meal, though. While you don’t have to, you could easily pick another dessert or multiple other options!

Not mandatory you can do cupcakes....its not for me it is bc that's part of what makes a wedding to ME!!!

From what I know, wedding cakes originated as a way of people showing off their wealth because sugar and confectionery items were historically expensive.
I’m having wedding cake because I love the tradition (and you don’t need to ask me twice to have cake!!) but it’s definitely not a must.

Cake isn’t mandatory. I love cake though and if I go to a wedding without cake I’m gonna be sad lol

View Quoted Comment Lol! Same, I love cake 😂

We are not having a wedding cake. It is absolutely not mandatory if you don't want one.

It's not. It's just an easy way to provide dessert for like 100 people.

You can have whatever you want at your wedding! We are doing a dessert bar.
