Wedding Cake Cutting Guide: Tips and Tricks for the Big Day

Share

Designing the cake can be one of the best parts of planning your wedding. Who doesn’t like cake tasting? Even the groom’s make sure they are free for this appointment. So many delicious options, cake flavor, filling types, frosting! After ordering the cake you start looking for the perfect topper to showcase your personalities. The cake topper with the bride dragging the groom to the alter, a sweet dancing moment, custom artwork designed by a dear friend, figurines that match the sentimental tattoo, a cake that looks like a mountain for the avid hikers, complete with edible engagement photos. But what happens after? Do you know how to cut the cake? Hear me out… every wedding that we have photographed ends with me whispering instructions to the nervous bride and groom as they try to tackle this seemingly ordinary task! For our first anniversary I ordered a small cake (in our wedding flavor) and decided to have an impromptu How To photo session for cake cutting! Visit our blog for the full step-by-step! https://davello.com/2011/08/16/how-to-cut-the-wedding-cake//
