From their vows to her wedding dress, almost every aspect of Kim Coles and Reggie Mckiver‘s wedding was customized — even their cake!
“The adorable edible butterflies were from Etsy,” the former Living Single star, 53, tells PEOPLE of multi-colored confections that adorned the cake at her June 17 wedding to McKiver, 41, at the Paradisus Palma Real in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.
Made by the in-house bakers at the wedding venue, the two-tiered cake included a strawberry-filled vanilla layer on top and a chocolate layer on the bottom.
“Chocolate cake is our favorite, but we wanted everyone to be happy” explains Coles, who invited just 25 people — including her baby brother and McKiver’s seven sisters (five of whom were able to attend) — to their ceremony on the beach.
Though Coles says their intimate wedding was “lovely,” she admits there was one downside to the festivities’ picturesque setting: “We had to cut the cake before the butterflies melted in the tropical humidity!”
