Why wouldn't you just get her treats instead?

Well, 🙂 I went with the same ones—there wasn't really any other option regarding those specific cakes, but honestly, I loved them... though I did request a little tweak. I asked for everything to be decorated with hearts instead of stars, and I told her to put our "signature" cake right in the center for when we do the cutting—you know, that beautiful all-white rose design she makes from that special frosting mixture... She mentioned her electricity bill is going up in April, so she ended up charging $3.25 instead of $3.00.

We weren't looking to pick up treats over there...$27/lb, which feels a bit pricey for us... we're hunting for something a little more budget-friendly.

We ended up going with those individual mini-cakes—you know, the ones where everything is bite-sized rather than one giant thing... we picked them up from Clarissa’s bakery over in Ann Arbor. Honestly, they look absolutely stunning, and the quality is top-tier—each little thing is a total $3.25 masterpiece—and we grabbed 230 🙂

Now, we're officially on the hunt for some more pastries to round things out. Does anyone have any solid recommendations? I'm looking for places that serve amazing sweets, and if you happen to know the ballpark price per pound, that would be incredibly helpful!

I am absolutely obsessed with the idea of doing something like mini cupcake-style servings... basically, we’d have one beautiful little showstopper cake on top just for us and our wedding party—something to cut for the photos—and then instead of slicing up a massive traditional cake, every single guest gets their own individual, perfectly portioned mini cake served right on their plate. It feels so much more elegant and intimate than the old-school way of passing around messy slices, don't you think? 🙂 Now, I’m dying to know—does anyone have a clue if this approach ends up being more expensive than your standard large tiered cake? And has anyone here actually pulled this off at a wedding before?? I'd love to hear your experiences! 😁
