I’ve never been much of a cake person, but I couldn't imagine not having something sweet on our wedding day. There are so many options when it comes to sweets! You could set up a dessert station, order a traditional tiered cake or even opt for mini cupcakes/cakepops! The possibilities are endless! My mom makes a killer rum cake and tops it off with homemade frosting. It super easy and satisfying. I begged her to make a tutorial for you all, but she wouldn't budge. I'll keep trying though!

If you're not into a whole lot of frosting, then you're in luck! Naked cakes are becoming quite popular in the wedding industry for their beauty and simplicity. Sure the use of fondant looks great on display, but I feel a lil' buttercream is more home-y. It makes you feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside! It definitely takes me back to my childhood. I'm all for comfort food; especially on a day that's so important. I know some couples like to go all out with the fancy food, but it's really not necessary. Choose a caterer/baker that represents your pallets!
