NOW FOR THE FUN STUFF...
Here are some fun facts and trivia that we hope
you will find of interest.
WEDDING CAKE TOPPERS
Cake toppers span traditional to funky designs. Many
cake toppers can also be customized in a whimsical fashion patterned after
the bride and groom. Some brides also choose cake toppers that are family
heirlooms. Glass or crystal toppers are also popular choices, many of which
come in a variety of forms, such as swans. When looking to achieve a dramatic
look, some brides also opt to have a replica of their wedding bouquet as
the choice for their cake topper — often rendered
in sugar or real flowers. For a cake topper with a humorous twist, some couples
also select their favorite childhood heroes or characters.
WEDDING CAKE KNIFE
The significance of the wedding cake has been loaded
with symbolism — whether the bride and groom's first cut represents fertility,
the first meal of a married couple or the beginning of a shared life — or
simply the end of the wedding reception. Symbolizing faithfulness and sharing
it is traditional for the couple to share the cutting of the first slice
of the Wedding Cake.
WEDDING CAKE CHARMS
The charms can be used for many reasons. One of the most popular reason is
for cake pulls. What are those? Well, you simply have your baker attach each
charm to a length of ribbon (not included) and insert them in between the
layers of of your cake with the ribbon extending out beyond the edge of the
cake. Then at the reception you have each of your bridesmaids pull out a
charm for good luck.
HOW TO CUT THE WEDDING CAKE
The wedding cake should be cut just
before dessert at a luncheon or dinner reception, just after the guests have
been received at a tea or cocktail reception. Your groom places his
right hand over yours and together you cut into the bottom layer with a ribbon-tied
silver knife. The bride and groom traditionally share the first slice as
a symbol of their willingness to share each other’s household
from then on.
It is a loving gesture for the bride to give her new in-laws their pieces
after that, then the groom to service his. The rest of the cake is then cut
by a friend, designated in advance, or by a member of the caterer’s
staff, and served to the guests.
Use a thin, sharp or serrated knife. Insert knife into cake, keeping point down,
and handle up. Slice, pulling knife toward you. If frosting sticks, dip knife
in hot water or wipe with damp paper towel after cutting each slice.
STEPS FOR CUTTING A WEDDING CAKE
1. Time the cake cutting as appropriate to the type
of reception. If you are having a cocktail or tea reception, serve the cake after
the guests shuffle through the receiving line; if you plan to throw a lunch or
dinner reception, present the cake after the meal.
2. Gather the crowd and announce your intention to cut the cake,
either verbally or with a reprise of the song that accompanied the couple
in their first dance.
3. Cut with the groom's right hand over the bride's. Slice through
the bottom layer of the cake together.
4. Feed one another from the slice. Traditionally, the groom feeds
the bride first, then the bride serves the groom.
5. Serve slices to your in-laws, with the bride serving the groom's
parents, then the groom serving the bride's.
6. Have a preordained friend or the catering staff serve the rest
of the guests.
