Let’s Cut the Cake!

Did you know that the baker does not typically stay to serve the incredible edible work of art they created for you? In most circumstances, your cake is dropped off hours before your reception and once you have cut the first romantic slice, it's up to you and your planning team to designate the cake service.

Option One: Arrange with your caterer beforehand to include cake service in your vendor agreement. Many caterers charge extra for this service and will require prior notice to prepare additional plates, napkins, or silverware. They need to assign a competent team member for this task!

Option Two: Have a trusted family member or friend handle the task of cutting and serving your cake to guests. Ensure they are familiar with cake service basics (Check out this video for guidance). Consider having 2-3 helpers available for assistance.

Consider Option Three: Prepare a small personal cake for you both to cut and enjoy together. Save this special cake exclusively for yourselves! Wedding cakes freeze remarkably well, so you can bring it out after the honeymoon or save a large slice for your first anniversary. For your guests, serve cupcakes or pre-sliced sheet cake.

Hiring someone to cut and serve the cake at your wedding can offer you peace of mind and allow you to fully enjoy your special day. By delegating this task to a professional, you can ensure that the cake is presented beautifully and served efficiently to your guests.

A dedicated cake-cutting service also helps to maintain the flow of the event, keeping everything on schedule and allowing you to focus on making memories rather than worrying about the logistics. Plus, having someone to take care of this detail can add an elegant touch to the reception and create a seamless experience for you and your guests.
