Wedding cake cutting and tips
| Cake cutting Newlyweds cutting their wedding cake symbolize the commitment to nurture each other. After dinner, the newlyweds cut the cake together and feed each other a bite. There is a saying that whoever has their hand on top of the cake knife when the couple cuts the wedding cake will rule the household. The bride should always have the first bite of cake. It is a superstition that the bride's fertility may be impaired is she does not eat the first piece of cake. After the bride and groom feed each other cake, they hand the cake over to the caterer, who will then cut and distribute pieces of cake to the guests. Cake Tips To reduce the cost of a huge elaborate cake when having a large number of guests, order a small cake for display and sheet cakes the feed the majority of the guests. Your guests will never know. Also, you can get away with a smaller wedding cake if you serve other desserts like ice cream and fruit. Check if dessert is included in your meal cost. If it is, maybe have a smaller cake made. Make sure the baker takes the cake to the reception in time to set up the cake before the guests arrive. See our line of wedding cake servers.
