There was a post elsewhere a day or so ago about it costing a lot less to do as you suggest and say nothing about the big "W" word
i would say nearly all weddings have cakes, theres usually 2 types, the tiffin type or the traditional currant. Nearly all that I see are home made. Hardly anyone eats them for a couple of reasons, 1, theres desert always given out with the meal and 2, theyre not sliced and served until the finger food when most people are eating cocktail sausages anyway.lots of couples I know don't even bother with cakes at weddings any more, due to the expense and the fact no one eats them as dessert is usually included in the meal.
Was at a wedding recently where the bride hated traditional wedding cake so she had a guy come in a build a profiterole pyramid which was then doused in some kind of syrupy stuff. The whole operation of building it was fascinating and indeed entertained many of us guests!! It was used in addition to dessert - the cutting of the cake was a procedure fraught with giggles in case the whole pryamid collapsed - it didnt.
That's a croquembouche - my mother made one years ago and it was fabulous. Just thought I'd supply the name in case anyone wants one!
My better half makes wedding cakes - variously flavoured sponges are now the most popular, as few people eat the traditional fruit cake. Go for something people will eat and enjoy, not something that will sit there like a guilty secret exposed.
