Desserts

Jacklyn, on May 17, 2018 at 14:24 Posted in Wedding reception 0 5

So my Fiance and I are planning to just have a single-tier cutting cake for us to do the “Cake Cutting” but we will not be having cupcakes or anything else on the table. Instead, our caterer is supplying pies for after supper and we will also have a candy bar going throughout the evening. The pies will be located in another room where the buffet will be so they won’t just be out in the open.

Any ideas on how to portray this with signage or otherwise? We want to be able to tell people that the pie/candy bar is your dessert and when we cut the cake after supper we are not passing it out. Thanks!

    I agree that an announcement would be perfect. One will need to be made to say that you'll be cutting the cake, so after that is over they can also announce that now guests can head into the buffet area for pie and candy. I had pie instead of cake at my wedding too!

    I will be doing something similar - I plan on having the DJ or myself just make an announcement that we are going to do the cake cutting - and it's purely for traditions sake - instead of cake for everyone we want to have s'mores outside on the fires

    We are thinking of doing something similar. I think having the DJ announce it, like Jennifer said, is an excellent way to get the guests to the desserts. They probably won't question not having cake until they get into the car to drive home lol.

    I would have your MC/DJ make an announcement when you cut the cake that dessert is served for guests and where it’s located.

    Maybe have a sign that says “Love is Sweet so take a treat”? And I think people will get it that they dont get cake if they just see one-tier cake. Maybe also have the MC announce the dessert is in another room?
