Not serving the wedding “cake” ?

The cake was traditionally served as dessert, so if you are haing one as part of your meal there is actually no need for one. We were not having one as I dont really like cake, and like tou wanted cheese but was too costly, but a friend who is a baker has offered to do us a cupcake tower as our gift so now have that.

in terms of the one you have found, go for it, but i would say do you want to take it home if it has been sat out and anyone could have been touching it? I would have it and cut it at evening reception and then have it as an addition to your evening food.

Agree with Michelle above, it's your wedding and it also sounds like you're providing plenty of food, without the addition of your cheese tiers!

I think when it gets to the sort of time the cake is normally served, people who have been drinking aren't really up for sponge - and I doubt they'd be up for cheese, either. I don't think anyone would mind - and at the end of the day, most of the guests are there to celebrate with you and are getting fed in one form or another anyway. Cake is just an add-on, really.

We're having around 80 guests, but have only ordered a cake that feeds 50 - and I doubt even that will get eaten with evening food on offer too. I can't imagine anyone will challenge me and if someone asks why they didn't get cake, all they'll get from me in response is a shrug lol.
