I don’t like wedding cake.
Shocking, I know. I’m just not a fan of layers and layers of fondant and flowers. I like my cakes simple and delicious.
Which is why I’m not looking for your average wedding cake.
Instead of a large white cake, I’ve been dreaming of lots of little cakes.
Little, yummy, adorable cakes. Cakes like this:
Sigh. Isn’t this the sweetest cake you’ve ever laid eyes on? The little flower on top is so cute that I could just swoon!
This is my ideal cake layout. I’d love it if we were able to have lots of cakes with lots of different, yummy flavors. I may even sneak a Funfetti cake in there—my fave!
Is anyone else considering an alternative to the traditional wedding cake?

we’re doing this! we aren’t even doing traditional decoration…
carrot cake, coconut cake, chocolate flourless, cheesecake & maybe an Italian creme
Yummmm funfetti! That second picture is the one that has inspired my idea for cake as well, it’s one of the very first pictures I ever saved after becoming engaged.
I agree, I’m not a huge wedding cake fan. And I like to have lots of dessert choices, so what I’m planning at this point is to find those adorable cake stands (hopefully in the green glass, so cute!) and get some delicious single cakes, probably from costco (their chocolate cake is to die for, and I love their cheesecakes too, and maybe a pie, why not?). Simple, easy, cheap, all things I love!
We’re doing centerpiece cakes. They’ll all be the same flavor though…no fighting allowed!
That first picture is hilarious. The cake matches her dress perfectly.
We had cupcakes at our wedding. Tasty, cheap(er), and super cute.
This is my dream cake(s) too! Thanks for the picture, I lost mine and needed this to explain it to my mom and baker 
I am! We are going to have a fairly traditional layout - layers, I mean - but instead of cake the layers will be cupcakes. We’ll have several flavors in gold cupcake cups with brown frosting and (hopefully) green and orange monogrammed coins on top (very fall). Then we’ll have a small cutting cake as the top layer. We’ll probably have to have an additional small cake stand or two with the extra cupcakes, but that’s perfect because it will really fill up the table. It’s on of my favorite details we’ve planned so far. Can’t wait for the tasting!
I am going traditional, but if I were a guest at your wedding, I would love it! It is really fun and gives more flavor options!
There is nothing better than funfetti cake with funfetti icing. Umm except maybe spice cake but funfetti is up there.
We are doing cupcakes too - fondant is not in my vocab. Buttercream frosting for all!
I will not have a traditional wedding cake. In fact, mine will be so freaky that I don’t even know what it is yet.
That’s exactly what we’re doing, too! My FI’s favourite cake ever happens to be my mom’s Apple Spice Cake so she’ll be making us one of those as our CAKE cake but we’ll also have a table of different ones!
Think of the cake stands!!!!
i, too, am not a fan of wedding cakes. so i’m doing PIES. on beautiful cake stands… i have 2 milk glass ones and am having other guests bring theirs and am buying a few from thrift stores. i love the thought of lots of cakes, too.
Yippee for Funfetti!! My mom used to always bake my brothers and I Funfetti cake for our birthdays!!
I’m doing cupcakes also!!! I don’t want to cut cake, and cupcakes are so cute. My reception site has a huge cupcake stand (200 cupcakes!) so I have to make use of it!
That is such a fabulous idea to have a bunch of little cakes!! I’m definitely on the same page as you– I don’t particularly like wedding cakes. I haven’t once been to a wedding where I actually liked the cake (though I typically eat it anyway…).
Cupcakes here!! From Miette- I think that second cake you have pictured is Miette!! OR at least a ridiculously good replica!
yay I’m glad someone is on the same boat as me/us. we too are doing a bunch of smaller, non wedding cakes. I think it’s more fun AND saves tons of money.
Miss Gummi Bear did a cake buffet and it was beautiful. http://www.weddingbee.com/2008/07/28/i-owe-you/
we’ve decided to go with wedding pies~ requests for homemade have gone out to many a friend and relative, and surprisingly, everyone is more than happy to bake!
