That Takes the Cake

Lets face it, some wedding cakes are really - um - not yummy. There are so many flavors out there now that you can combine anything with pretty much anything. Am I the only one that thinks that some things are just not meant to be together? From the outside the cake looks amazing and you can't wait to sharpen up your knife just to cut through the fondant. And then the reality hits you when you do a lap around the tables and see that 1 out of every 20 guest has actually indulged. Money well spent right? I think not. And I also think that there are alternatives to the wedding cake that are more crowd friendly, easier to serve, and not to mention good tasting. Oh yea, and it could save you money.
