Recently I went to a wedding where, instead of serving the wedding cake, a slice of cake was given to each guest in a box to take home. Other desserts were offered at the reception if someone wanted to partake, but no one ate the cake (other than the bride and groom in the cutting ceremony).

I thought that it was a little odd but I kind of understand the logic. After a full meal, many people only take one bite of cake and throw the rest of the cake away. This way, everyone can enjoy the cake later at home and there is not so much waste.

If you aren’t interested in giving away real wedding cake in lieu of wedding favors, you can give beautiful cake shaped candles instead.

Truly Wedding Favors offers a selection of cake favors that are really cute and can cost less than $2 each. The one pictured here is the “Buttercream Dreams” cake candle. It’s just adorable!

You can also choose from pink, blue, white and even a special fall themed cake candle. These affordable wedding favors are beautiful and practical. Check out all the cake wedding favors here at Truly.
