Three-Tier Whimsical Wedding Cake Design : How to Cut Wedding A Wedding Cake

Three-Tier Whimsical Wedding Cake Design : How to Cut Wedding A Wedding Cake

Timing For Cutting The Wedding Cake:

By: Charish Hoover - California Weddings

You may be surprised, but something as simple as cutting the wedding cake, isn't always the easiest thing for newly weds to figure out at their reception.

Through the years, I've aided many couples in this simple task, and happily so. Come to think of it, when all eyes are on you, you're tired from the stress of the busy day's events, , , the last thing you need is the pressure of cutting the cake, and doing it "properly".

Enjoy the video I've posted above to learn more about how to cut the wedding cake. Basically, Less is more. You don't need to cut a large piece of cake to get the task done.

What Time Is The Best Time To Do The Cake Cutting?

There is no proper etiquette for when to cut the cake, however there are some things to consider:

1. For an outdoor wedding reception, is it possible that the cake icing could be melting? If so, talk to your event planner, and/or Event MC/DJ about getting the cake cutting done soon after you are announced into the reception.

2. For a cake and punch only reception, the sooner you cut the cake, the better, as your guests are likely anxious to have a bite. READ MORE BELOW PICTURE:

What Do I Typically Recommend (If number's 1, and 2 above do not apply)?

Here's My Preferred Wedding Reception Schedule:

(I'm a bit of a type A personality by the way ;-) ~ ~ while others will have their own preferences, I prefer to keep things rolling, and the guests NOT waiting so as to not get bored.

1. Bride and Groom are announced into the reception (after the bridal party) by their professional DJ, or MC.

2. Immediately After Being Announced (You - The Bride & Groom), rather than go directly to your head table and sit down, do your first dance together as man and wife.

3. After the first dance, (Bride & Groom) go and sit at their head table, while the DJ/MC plays some pleasant background music for all the guests to enjoy. Meanwhile the catering staff, should be ready, and serve the bride and groom their dinner first, then the the bridal party, and then start serving the guests. NOTE: For a buffet style dinner, the bride and groom usually have their plates prepared for and served to them by the catering staff. The bridal party and all guests are then released to go to the buffet table by group, and by the MC/DJ. READ MORE BELOW PHOTO

4. Immediately after the bride and groom have enjoyed their meal (not the guests, they may still be eating), , the bride and groom have their wedding DJ/MC announce that while the guests remain seated, the bride and groom head over to the cake to cut it and feed each other. Be sure to let your wedding photographer, wedding videographer, and wedding planner know this ahead of time as well. This will allow for perfect timing of the photography, and video taping of the cake cutting, while at the same time allow your wedding planner to aid you should you need assistance (ie. napkins, an extra plate, etc.)

5. After the cake has been cut - You (the bride and groom) head back to your head table to be seated.

Note: Before this time, (sometime mid-dinner) the champagne should have already been placed on the head table, and each guest table in preparation of the upcoming toasts.

6. Now is the perfect time for speeches, and toasts (and they will go on in most cases ;-) especially if there has already been some alcohol ingestion) While these things are happening the catering staff will have ample time to cut the cake in pieces and serve the guests, as well as the entire bridal party.

7. Once toasts, and speeches are out of the way, the wedding DJ can begin playing some fun dance toons, and if he/she is good, they'll be able to get your guests out on the floor for some fun!

8. Approx. 30 minutes into the dancing (enough time for all to get a good workout ;-) - the DJ should announce the bridal bouquet toss, and garter toss will be done (if applicable). Tip: The bridal toss bouquet is usually placed on the wedding cake table as a decorative ornament to the cake. Be sure to speak to your wedding florist about this ahead of time to make sure you will be having a toss bouquet.

9. After the garter/bouquet toss has been done, it's usually nothing but dancing and fun!!!

Wedding Cakes - What's HOT, and what's NOT!?

Everyone LOVES wedding cake! If you don't, well, then I question just how human you are!? ;-)

If you're like me, the first thing you likely notice when you walk into a couple's wedding reception is not just the heavenly aura put off by the wedding cake somewhere across the room, (being displayed almost as if it's a non-touchable work of art), but you most likely notice the heavenly smell as well. A smell that takes you back to your child-hood when you remember sticking your finger in mom's frosting, or getting to lick the bowl clean when all the mixing and pouring is done. A smell that brings good feelings of contentment, and warm hugs.

Some cakes are just too pretty to cut, (Of course that's why the wedding photographer's picture of the cake is so important, so as to preserve this edible work of art that smells so darn good!)

When I started out in the wedding industry in 1991, most people had not heard of fondant covered wedding cakes. In fact a photo of most wedding cakes from back then today - would most likely easily be "dated".

Then, it was common to see multi-tiered buttercream wedding cakes (topped with frosting flowers), and displayed on extravagant plastic (supposedly fairytale-like stands). Some of these stands were inspired by castles, some were just bridges, and some even had water fountains running through them. Most were topped by a traditional bride and groom wedding cake topper.

TODAY, it is rare to see cakes and cake stands as mentioned above. Our more modern bride and groom often take a more simple, and elegant approach when choosing their wedding cake design.

In fact, I'd go so far as to say, that the artistic appearance of the wedding cake is more important than ever for today's bride and groom, , , , but , , , without sacrificing excellent flavor, which can often be the case if choosing a cake designer without ample experience in the actual baking aspect of the cake.

Today - I see a good balance of cakes that are either Fondant (a sweet clay-like covering), or traditional buttercream frosted. Both have their benefits, unique taste, and decorative possibilities.

Frosting flowers are a thing of the past. (see gumpaste flowers below).
Today's cakery's often deliver a cake that is without flowers, that can, and often will be decorated with real flowers brought by the hired florist once the cake has been fully setup on its table.

It is becoming more common to see edible (gum paste flowers) as decorative accents on wedding cakes in place of real flowers, however real flowers are still used most often to date.

Both fondant covered and buttercream frosted cakes can be decorated with CAKE JEWELRY - which can either be a fashionable cake topper, monogrammed cake topper, and/or things such as pearls, or gems (aka BLING), placed all over the cake in a decorative manner. It is also common for colored, decorative, silk ribbon to be used around the base of each tier to add color, style, balance, etc.

I have learned that fondant covered wedding cakes tend to hold up better in higher temperatures, therefore if you're having your reception at an outdoor wedding venue, it would be wise to consider this option.

While some couples choose a more simple, elegant look for their wedding cake, there are those who want a cake designed specifically for the purpose of serving as an expression of their personalities, or a special passion in their life.

For example: One couple chose a wedding cake in the shape of a fire truck topped with a riding bride and groom. The groom had been a firefighter for many years, and the couple thought that this design was not only a tribute to the groom's dedication, but to the many firefighter friends/guests that were to attend their wedding reception as well. As a small tribute to the bride, a small duplicate of a tiny blue sports car she owned and loved was placed to the side of the fire truck.

So what's HOT, and what's NOT when it comes to wedding cakes? The answer is pretty much anything that suits the styles, and personalities of the bride and groom is HOT!!! What's NOT? I say who cares?

Whether you want a mini fondant wedding cake for each of your guests, a six tiered buttercream wedding cake smothered in daisies, or an elegant and completely BLINGED out fondant wedding cake, , , , , be sure to choose your cake designer/baker carefully, as few things can harm your reception success than a lopsided wedding cake (delivered late), , , that not only looks little like you had discussed with the designer, but also leaves a lot to be desired in the flavor department!
