      <![CDATA[While I admire your childlike wonder, Karmel, you're just wrong. I've been to numerous cupcake-only weddings and it's a huge disappointment. If they weren't cool, there would have been a real cake there. <br>
<br>
As for you, @NC, you get no argument from me on that front. But when you get married outdoors, your options are limited. Buttercream melts, so most places won't sell you a cake unless it's got fondant. I'm desperately searching for a not-dry fondant-covered cake to spend too much money on.

      <![CDATA[Fondant cakes aren't good neither, it is just dry pseudo cake whith tons of sugar that nobody eats, and filled with... jam!. When you have spent all your money in a beatiful fondant cake you probably will be happy but when you see that everybody left the expensive thing in the plate you will be, well, sorry.

      <![CDATA[Cupcakes and cake-pops don't exist at the expense of normal cake, Falcone. Sometimes you don't need all of that cake, oh whats this, a delicious little cake given to me by a smiling chubby woman? Perfect. Thank you, universe of endless wonder. (I'm gonna mule kick you at the open mic tonight)
