I love it! I love the miniature theme you have going with the menu. I’m a big fan of having lots of little tastes of deliciousness.

I love the small cake idea because of the wedding cake disaster at my own wedding. It involved the bakery of my dreams and miscommunication and NO WEDDING CAKE. At least I had a few days notice, so I actually found an even better bakery and had a small wedding cake made, and then had about 15 amazingly beautiful little cakes and tarts (picture cute French pastry shop) on a dessert table. My mother made gorgeous little sign for each one, and people were WILD about it. It’s the minature thing I think.

i love it! even if, like rachel said, it doesn’t get people up and moving, you are giving them a choice and making the food delivery more family-style, which i think is a great touch to the event.

my only question would be the logistics of cutting the small cakes… what type of service are you having? will there be waiters that can cut? or would you just let people cut their own cakes?

Jenna, I think that’s a WAY cute idea!! I’m not sure that lots of people will get up and mingle to get different flavors, they may just eat the one at their table – but they’re your friends and family so if they’re outgoing and know each other they very well might “get it” and mingle around.
Have you thought about doing 2 small tiers per table – each layer being a different flavor?? Then you could have your different cakes and different flavors.

I am SO SO excited right because I think you might have solved this problem I have been having. I want to have a variety of smaller cakes instead of one huge one, but I couldn’t figure out exactly what I was thinking. What do you think of this idea:

Have 2 or 3 different flavors of cakes, and display them on tables as part of the tablescape. Cute little signs sitting next to them saying what they are. Encourage guests to mix it up and visit different tables looking for the slice they would enjoy the most. I like the idea of making the dessert portion a little bit more casual in some way. What do you think could it work? Will no one get it? Will I miss having a sweet little display with lots of cakes all over it? Should I have emailed this to you instead? :)
