~I always eat the cake at weddings. I kind of view it as a toast to the bride and groom. That being said I've never had a really good cake at a wedding. They're always too dry and the buttercream is never good enough for me to spend the calories. But I taste for politeness sake.
Cupcakes may be practical but they're too informal, IMO. I don't know of many people who don't associate cupcakes with children's birthday parties or classroom treats and that's not the impression I'd want my guests to have.
I made cinnamon buns for my reception and they were stacked on a tiered plate rack. The officiant's daughter liked the idea(and my cinnamon buns!)so I made a bunch for her wedding last year. Easy to make ahead, freeze and serve, cheap and well liked!~
