Wedding drip cakes

10 reasons wedding drip cakes are a most lavishly delicious trend

I have a special place in my heart for wedding cake trends (naked cakes! pop culture cakes! literal cheese cakes!). That’s why I always love seeing what new trends are popping up. It seems that drip cakes are making a comeback, which we LOVE.

Here are some of the more offbeat drip cakes we could find, with rainbows, caramel, pastels, sprinkles, popcorn, and even fake blood for Halloween. Let’s get drippy with it!

Can we have guests grill their own meat at the reception?

We are going super laid-back, backyard wedding on a Friday evening. Our thought was to have a long grill set up and have each guest pick a pork chop or chicken and grill their own. We will have meat thermometers available. Our thought was that we didn’t want people to show up get food, sit with whom they normally socialize, eat, and leave.

Any advice?
