✨ Cake Cutting Trends ✨
Wedding cake cutting has been a wedding tradition for as long as I can remember, in recent years though the trends have been changing depending on the couple.
Here are the popular dessert choices I see the most:
✨ A traditional tiered wedding cake
✨ A small 2 tiered cake and cupcakes for guests
✨ An ice cream truck or cart (my personal favorite)
✨ A dessert bar with all different mini desserts
Choose what makes the most sense for you as a couple, if you don’t like cake, you can always have a photo of you sharing your ice cream for the first time! Details surrounding dessert tend to be forgotten, though, so here is my list of what not to forget!
✨ Who is providing plates, napkins, forks? Catering, baker, or couple?
✨ Real or plastic dessert plates? I always encourage my budget friendly couples to do plastic for dessert as they usually aren’t photographed as table settings are.
✨ Are you using a cake stand? Have you checked if the board the cake will be brought in on can fit?
✨ Are you using a cake topper, communicate with your planner if they or the baker will be placing it on the cake.
✨ Are you adding flowers to the cake? If so make sure you order from your florist and communicate with them and the baker on who will be placing the flowers, and that their arrival correlates.
✨ Don’t forget to purchase a cake server and knife. I always suggest that you purchase a set that you can use in you home for years later. Also sometimes the decorative ones at Michael’s are flimsy, but are perfect if you just want them for the photo!
✨ Ask your baker if they will be leaving a cake box, if not bring a container that leftovers can go into!
