I read this article in a Canadian newspaper (online, of course) about a couple that had a cheesecake wedding cake.

YUM!

Okay, I’m a huge cheesecake fan, so I didn’t really need an article to get me thinking this way. However, I had about a second’s hesitation about my dream of a huge wedding cheesecake (maybe each layer a different flavor . . . ) when Ed’s youngest daughter flatly declared, “I don’t like cheesecake.”

While I know wedding cake isn’t part of a well-balanced diet, but Emily got me thinking about all the other people, like my dad, who have no interest whatsoever in cheesecake. As unbelievable as it seems to me.

I also have a lot of diabetics in the family, so I’m thinking of some asking a pastry chef to create some sugar-free brownies or cake to serve to those who aren’t partaking of my cheesy wedding cake. With the advent of Splenda, sugar-free baked goods are reaching whole new heights of tastiness.

If you’re thinking about trying something a little different for your wedding, go for it. It’s your cake. And they do say the bride doesn’t even taste the wedding dinner, so all the more reason to have a great cake. It could be the only think you eat at your wedding.

However, if you are going to take the path less traveled, consider a dessert table to accommodate small children, diabetics and those with plain tastes. Your guests will thank you.

A quick note to Tricia who wrote in last week and anyone else who wants to share tips and ideas about weddings, saving money and having a blast, feel free to post your ideas as a comment  on the blog or e-mail me at droberson@nashuatelegraph.com. Good luck with your wedding!

And Michael . . .  Good point about the DJ! If anyone out there knows how much a DJ should cost, I'm all ears!
