Gone are the days in which a standard wedding cake was the only way to please your guests' sweet tooth at your wedding. Today, there are lots of different options when it comes to wedding day desserts - and only a fraction of them involve fondant.

Not confident in wedding protocol? We've turned to etiquette expert Anna Post to fill us in on today's I-Do's and I-Don'ts.

Your wedding cake should be as unique as you are, and, like all of your other wedding elements, it should work with the other aspects of the event to reflect the bride and groom's personalities. That being said, there are a lot of options and often the possibilities can seem overwhelming. Should you go with sleek and chic white fondant or decadent buttercream? Should your cake be classically elegant or funky and fresh? Perhaps you'd like to have cupcakes, pies, or a candy bar in lieu of a cake?
