The Cake, The Pie

Are you looking for cake-making tips for a do-it-yourself wedding cake? Or for sweet alternatives to the traditional wedding dessert? This food fight has you covered! We’re throwing cakes and pies (and donuts and s’mores) at each other to see what sticks. Your founding foodies have been up close and personal with several wedding desserts in the past year. April braved baking a towering three-tier cake and lived to tell the tale! And for an alternative perspective, Sarah offers a rundown of the non-traditional sweet treats at Amy and Adam’s wedding, including the main attraction: mini-pies.

The options may be overwhelming, but we’re here to help! And whatever dessert path you end up taking, it will taste amazing — just make sure your choice reflects your style. And don’t throw any cake or pies at your reception — leave the food fighting to us.

Which of these two sweet-tart chutneys will make it into your pantry? This food fight is on!
