Apple Squares
Apple Squares
   

Wedding Cake
Who needs it ;p

We hate cake. We don't eat it for birthdays/weddings/etc. We also don't really like pie. Well, I like it enough, but Craig doesn't. So! We've decided to go with Apple Squares + ice cream. Using my Grandma's recipe of course ;).

That, and we decided to use Apples as our theme tie-in. (Apple Slice color from Dessy, Carmel Apple favors, apple ish invites--DIY of course--and anything where flowers would go, we're putting apples). Because I was literally freaking out over the flowers + bee combination. I had nightmares about it.

So, though I know it bummed people out about no cake... why serve it/spend so much more money on it when we're not going to enjoy it. Plus, Apple Squares are sooo easy to make! My mom can make 3 batches in just a couple hours and be done with it. It would cost maybe............$75? or less. Probably much less since all we would need to buy are the apples.

And $75 vs $800+...... really? Who really needs cake when there's an alternative that helps your theme and tastes tremendously better?! Not I!

I agree. There are soooo many "rules" about getting married. I just planned our wedding like a party and we did what we wanted.

Mmm, that sounds sooo good!  I'm a cake lover, but recently went to a wedding where I did NOT like the cake at all.  It is really nice to go to a wedding where the standard menu choices are switched up.  I'm sure the guests will be happy to just have a delicious dessert.  I know I would!
