Cutting the cake (without looking ridiculous!)

Joey, on November 9, 2017 at 08:37 Posted in Wedding reception 0 6

I love to bake, it's very calming for me. I also love hosting people. Suffice it to say I've cut and served a lot of cake and pie in my day. But on my wedding day, when it was time to "cut the cake," I was stumped. How do you do this in front of a crowd? How do two people cut one cake at the same time? Which part of the cake do you cut? What do you cut if there's dessert but no cake? What song do you cut the cake to? And are you bringing special cutting and serving utensils? How do you make sure you get the perfect pic of this moment? How do you feed it to each other?! Who knew a cake could be so complex!!

    I easily avoided having to ask myself these questions by not having a cake at all.

    I honestly didn't think anything of it until the actual day came. It didn't even cross my mind. Like how hard can cutting a cake be? But when it came time to cut the cake, we were both like... uhm... where do we cut? Lol we had 3 tiers one tiny, one small and one medium. Someone said just cut the bigger tier. We had flowers on our cake so the cut ended up being super crooked cause we had to avoid the flowers haha. We didn't feed each other cake. Actually we didn't eat any of the cake that day because we were so full!

    This photo of us was after we unsuccessfully cut the cake lol

    I've actually never seen someone do this tradition! We're doing pies, so we won't be either.
