🎂Pick the wedding cake style with a fast poll
Wedding cake choices have exploded — naked cakes, drip cakes, croquembouche, donut towers. Pinterest is a rabbit hole. A 10-second poll shared with your taste-testers cuts through the noise and tells you what people actually want to eat.

- 💖Naked / semi-naked rustic
- ✨Drip cake with chocolate
- 🌶️Cupcake or dessert tower
- 👀Modern minimalist single tier
Why this poll works
Cakes are visual and emotional — half the decision is the photo, half is the taste. People have strong opinions but rarely volunteer them. A poll surfaces real preferences in seconds and gives your baker concrete direction at your tasting.
Tips
- ✦Attach a Pinterest board link in your share message so voters see each style
- ✦Don't poll for flavor — too personal, do that as a couple at the tasting
- ✦Include the cake topper style as a follow-up poll
- ✦Close voting at least 6 weeks out so the baker has time
- ✦Use the poll result as your starting point with the baker, not the final design

Frequently asked
Should I do a cake at all?+
Cake is tradition but not mandatory. Many couples skip it for a dessert bar or pie buffet. Run a poll between cake / dessert bar / both — your guests will tell you what they actually want.
How many tiers do I need?+
Roughly one tier per 50 guests for a slice each. Less if you also serve a separate dessert. The baker will guide you once you have your final headcount.
What's the difference between naked and semi-naked cakes?+
Naked cakes have no exterior frosting (you see the layers). Semi-naked have a thin scraped layer. Both are rustic; semi-naked is slightly more polished and travels better in heat.
Should the cake match the wedding color theme?+
It should complement, not match perfectly. White or cream cakes with color accents (flowers, drips, ribbons) work in any palette. Run the cake poll AFTER the color theme poll for best results.
