KETO: Wedding Cake Tasting! [Low Carb Bakery]

Hey, Folks!
We continued some wedding planning this week by tasting a local Ketogenic bakery! All of the cakes were soooo good! I haven't had cake in so long! LOL
Let me know which flavor you think would work best for a spring wedding!

Just another suggestion: a 3 tier wedding cake designed the way you always dreamed, bottom 2 layers regular wedding cake and top piece that you cut (to feed one another) and freeze for 1 year anniversary can be your choice of keto cake.

I started planning a keto wedding as soon as I got engaged. I found someone who was willing to bake a huge keto/paleo tiered cake, but the ingredients were so expensive that I opted to have the top layer keto and then whatever batter she had left over were made into cupcakes and completed the 2nd tier. Then I just had regular cupcakes on the base/first layer and a TON of extra cupcakes on the dessert table. Since we got married in a camping venue, the decorations made the whole thing look like a giant s'more. Then I put graham crackers, chocolate bars, PB cups, marshmallows, and roasting sticks so everyone could make their own s'mores around the fire, which was a total HIT especially for the kids. Anyway, despite going to all this trouble to 'stay on track', I totally caved and shoved a cupcake down my throat and then made a couple s'mores because everyone was having so much fun. Then, about an hour later my blood sugar crashed and I was a sweaty, nauseous, miserable bride (think Steel Magnolias when she had a hypoglycemic reaction and everyone was trying to make her drink OJ or eat a candy bar) with only an outhouse to run to. I probably spent an hour in that outhouse with stuff coming out both ends. I was mortified and spent my wedding night crashed out in my tent. I can laugh about it now but if I could go back in time, I would definitely just have my keto cake on the top layer and a sheet cake from Costco for my guests. Easy peasy. Allie this is your day and I know you want everyone to be happy and have fun, but they're going to be happy and have fun no matter what cake is being served. I promise! Pick that coconut cake and whatever the man likes, and even throw in the wild card if you want! This is one of the only times you get to be selfish without judgment.🥂 😉 PS: I'm so sorry for the length of this "story" but I'm too far in to delete it, LOL!! 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️💒

Have the 3 tier cake of your dreams. The top one that people have for their first anniv(usually is gross by then)-use this one to cut&have that one keto. Everyone wins!
Also the layers can actually be different cakes inside if you want more than 1 flavor. Weddings are fun. It’s your day. Do what you want!😊

I made my daughter's wedding cake, and then made regular cupcakes for a dessert table. But thw ketoncake was a big hit as well. It was chocolate cake with raspberry filling and buttercream frosting

[pamoleson]

Allie, you can have it all. You and the man choose your favorite, if it ends up being two flavors have one for the rehearsal dinner and the other one for the wedding day. A cutting cake is perfect for you. Want a traditional looking cake? Have the bakery make the first two layers “fake”. Love watching you plan your wedding day. We celebrate 50 years this October. We had carrot cake for our cake. Not so traditional 50 years ago. 35 years later our son and his bride also had a carrot cutting cake. And various cupcakes for everyone else.

Excited for you!!!! A bridal cutting cake that is creamsicle and a peanut butter groom’s cutting cake that is peanut butter. Then plated deserts for everyone else.

Red velvet cutting cake. An assortment of cupcakes for the dessert table ie coconut, orange creamsicle, turtle etc. All keto is great. If u don't tell anyone, they won't know the difference 💕

It's your day, do exactly what you want! I think the dessert table is a great idea, there's no reason why everyone has to eat the same dessert. And for those who tell you to give up keto on your big day, I know that whenever I eat something non-keto, I have serious GI issues the next few days. It just isn't worth it. So get a keto cutting cake and set out a dessert table for your guests.

[trixieknits]

A bride cupcake and a groom cupcake. That way you each get what you like and the assorted desserts for guests.

[daydreamingofpuzzles]

I like buffets and I like the idea of a special Keto cake for you and the man and a dessert bar with several items for guests to choose from. Do what makes you happy on your day, people will enjoy whatever you decide.

[shannonisa]

Peanut butter groom cake. Coconut or orange creamsicle wedding cutting cake. A dessert table with a variety for guest.

[shirlynssleeve]

I agree w/Heather about a regular cake for the guests then Keto top for you both ( just have to agree on the flavor). Because you’ll have a small one vanilla w/filling ( strawberry, lemon, raspberry, chocolate, cream cheese etc) of your choice would be great. The BBQ idea is wonderful as a buffet then people can eat as little or as much as they want.

Keep it keto. You’ll feel better. Do what works for you and your man. The dessert table at our daughters wedding (mini desserts) was a huge hit.
Have fun! It’s once in a life time!

[tygerstripes]

I like a buffet at a wedding. Then you don't have to worry about waiters, except for clearing the tables.
I think you answered your own question at the end when you said you'd always dreamed of a 3-tier wedding cake. You could also have a short dessert table with keto desserts and regular desserts there.

[HeathSpace]

Not to be a weirdo but make sure you let people know that the keto cake is made with almond flour in case anyone has nut allergies. The coconut sounds the best to me, but it would be cool to have something fun like the orange creamsicle.

[eugenepattivalitzski]

they look amazing and you could have a cupcake bar and flower wedding cake. Grooms cake can be peanut butter Bride could be coconut

[ellitashealthjourney]

Maybe have each tier one if your favorites? That way there are options for everyone. I absolutely adore your planning ideas and they all sound delicious!🥰

[gaylejideofor]

what an adorable little shop! I am so happy you included us in this very personal trip. OH~ Please thank your awesome Mr. You two are so beautiful together & such a handsome couple. I wish you love and happiness.

[azwarriorm]

Its so great that you are sticking to the diet… many ppl i see that get off keto all have delved heavily into packaged keto… the ones that stay keto… kiss… thanks… have fun wedding planning

I catered a dessert bar for my sisters wedding and just did a cutting cake for her. I made a whole range of different cupcakes and treats for all sensitivities. Gluten free cakes, keto cakes, regular cakes, soy free, diary free and some mixes of all those. So many people came up and thanked me afterward because they weren’t expecting to get to participate in eating at the reception due to sensitivities. I have quite a few myself, like you, being keto and soy free. So it’s definitely worth considering doing various desserts so everyone can participate!
