    I prefer option 3: Everyone brings some cake to the party, and everyone gets to enjoy the variety of flavors, because we all pooled resources.

        The sheer fucking amount of cake that would be leftover at the end would make me sick.

        I mean, I’d eat it all, so therefore, I’d get sick.

        But most people usually bring too much to a potluck, and with cake it would likely be even more. So much leftover cake.

        I used to do potluck pie parties, because people are happy to go savory with pie. Chicken pot pie, tamale pie, beef and onion, etc. It’s all about tasty with a crust.

        I’ve been to a few low budget weddings that did this. It was awesome. No $10K dinner bill for the newly weds, just a shit ton of homemade desserts.

        A panluck? God, I would be so in. And you could really get experimental with the cake if you knew it wasn’t the only one there.

        Maybe if we say which cake we will bring…otherwise you end up with multiple of the same type, or maybe the exact one if not home made… Which sucks.

      Or option 4: everyone brings some ingredients, or skills, and we all bake varying cakes which are then enjoyed by all, because it’s a cooperating group that doesn’t give one asshole all the cake that’s baked.
