TIP TUESDAY: Wedding Cake Protocol

Who knew the wedding cake has its own etiquette guide?  Thanks to LifeTips for this article.

There is a protocol to the handling, cutting and serving of wedding cakes.  This is hardly surprising because just about everything in a traditional wedding is governed by etiquette and protocol.  Many couples, no matter how formal or informal the wedding is, most wedding couples try to observe wedding cake protocol.

TIP TUESDAY: Serving Your Wedding Cake

All cakes are NOT created equal!  And all cake plated presentations are definitely not equal!!!

We have all been at weddings when the final course is set before us and we swear that someone just slapped that piece of cake on the plate without any thought as to appearance.  And we “eat” with our eyes first!

Make your wedding cake course as special as the champagne vinaigrette you so carefully selected for the salad course.

Ask if the wedding cake course can be made special.  It is as easy as adding a swirl of fruit coulis, a scoop of ice cream or sorbet, a dizzle of chocolate sauce, a little shower of powdered sugar or a few delicious berries.  It will make it look more like a dessert plate ~ inviting and original.
