Traditional or Twist: Cake Cutting?

Lynnie, on February 17, 2020 at 09:05 Posted in Wedding reception 0 26

The cake-cutting tradition can get a little difficult if you don't plan on serving cake! Smiley laugh Are you including this sweet event as part of your reception rituals? Or are you twisting the tradition to fit your selected dessert?


Is a traditional cake cutting part of your wedding plans?

    We are doing the cake cutting right after our first dance, before we toast and sit down to eat. This way everyone will toast and see the cake cutting right then and there.

    I'd like to cut the cake together. Though our cake will be small and 1 tier, and the rest will be cupcakes for the guests.

    Traditional for the cutting itself. We have a small cutting cake with a lot of cupcakes. All together, it allowed us three different flavours instead of one for a little less. Giving people options for flavors was a plus, especially with the number of allergies involved.

    We have decided to do the traditional cake cutting. We love having the cake that we ordered and can't wait to enjoy it with our guests. Smiley smile

    We had dessert included with our meal, so all our guests had that dessert. We had a smaller cake made for just the family to share. We were all too full to even think about cutting it. So, we just did pictures with it and then took it home to share with the whole family the next day

    Our menu includes a dessert but we will still be having a cake. We will be cutting it out of the spotlight and serving it at the traditional European “midnight“ table! It will be a mix of sweet and savoury!

    Our sit down meal includes dessert so we’re skipping serving cake to guests. However, I think we will get a tiny cake just for cake cutting photos and to take home!

    We'll have cupcakes and donuts but we'll probably feed each other the first bite Smiley smile

    We're serving cupcakes for the guests then we'll have a small 6" cake for us to cut. But we won't be making an announcement when we do it. It's really just for the photos
