I like the idea of cupcake towers. They are very pretty and easy to serve.

I know this post is old but for others that are looking, semi nude cakes are popular these days

Great ideas! There really interesting comments on this!

Cupcakes sounds like an amazing idea, what about a fruit cake with almond icing? Why not get butter frosting?

Mud cake would be beautiful and delicious!

I love the look of those profiterole wedding cakes. Are you married yet?

Red Velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting!

there are some good comments here

What about a cake that is stacked really crooked and looks like it is going to fall, so everyone goes ‘how is that all holding together’ kind of reaction.

Have you decided yet what you are going to have?

I can’t stand the Marzipan either. Love the idea of cupcakes, would make them a lot easier to hand out to guests.

OMG custard filled profiteroles sounds awesome

I had a chocolate mud cake with custard filled profiteroles on top coated in chocolate & fresh strawberries.

Some interesting ideas there below

I agree cake pops and heaps of fun.
