We thought about a big multi-tier cake for everyone, but it would have been outrageously expensive, so we decided on a small 2-tier cake just for us to cut:
We took the leftovers home and have been slowly eating through them with the help of my in-laws and some friends.
The caterer made a dessert station for our wedding guests with fresh-baked cookies, pretzels, and countless other mini desserts (popsicles, pies, tarts, mousse shooters, etc.). The station was a huge hit and people probably liked it way more than they would have liked a cake.

Oh my gosh, your cake looks gorgeous!! Beautiful colors, and I love how you incorporated your origami theme into it. Awesome that the dessert station was such a huge hit!

Our venue covers the cost of cake per guest if we stuck with traditional vanilla with vanilla buttercream. We upgraded flavors so we just pay that difference, so we'll be having four tiers, two tiers are vanilla with a white chocolate buttercream. One is a red velvet tier with cream cheese frosting, and the fourth is a chocolate chip cake with white chocolate buttercream.

Same with the two tiers for our cake to cut and then sheet cake fore everyone else! It's a lot more cost effective that way. We also will have some mini cupcakes in a different flavor.

Definitely more cost effective! And the sheet cake would be just as delicious. The mini cupcakes are also a cute addition.

These look amazing. We had four tiers! Sadly, we were too busy dancing and forgot to cut the cake and have a slice ourselves.

Ours will be three tiers unless we end up with more guests than expected! Two tiers of red velvet and one of brandy flavor. All white with either sugar orchids or real orchids.

Bummer that you didn't get to have a slice yourselves! I love the decor you chose for your cake, it's very elegant! The beads in between each tier remind me of pearls.

I feel like three tiers is an ideal amount! Did you do the entire cake as the same flavor? Or a different flavor for each tier?

I love this idea! Is the one tier cake just being used for cake cutting, and then everyone gets a cupcake for dessert? My fiance and I also have a one tier cake - we're only using it for cake cutting (and bringing the rest back to our hotel to snack on the next day), and then serving tiramisu to everyone for dessert.

Our 1 tier will be the one we save for our anniversary and we plan to cut one cupcake in half and we plan for our guests to have one cupcake we are so doing a groom's cake as well.

I did the bottom largest tier as mango and then the 2 tiers on top as strawberry!

We're doing a 3-tier cake where the bottom and top are vanilla with lemon filling and the middle will be red velvet with cream cheese filling. FH loves his red velvet, and I wanted something that was lighter and not as rich. We're also doing a dessert bar since not everyone likes cake, but I wanted to have the tradition of cutting a cake and having an anniversary tier for next year.

Ha! Thanks Lisa! I'm not worried about it. We are going to buy another Tier just for ourselves. The guest ate it all! They were obsessed with the Red Velvet, Carrot Cke and Churro W/ dulce de leche filling.
