Wedding Cake
Wednesday, July 1st, 2009Upon arrival at the wedding reception, many guests head for the cake table so they can admire the cake. Then everyone enjoys cake and it’s gone. Cupcakes are decorated in alignment with the wedding theme, just as a cake is, but the cupcakes are instead arranged on tiered cake plates and displayed on a cake table until it’s time to eat them.
Some brides like to use a Southern tradition and have charms baked into the wedding cake. Similar to the idea above for cupcakes, this involves baking small charms or tiny toys (but usually charms) into the cake. You might even consider having charm bracelet charms baked into the cake, which are then made into a charm bracelet for the bride.
How about an activity for those who won’t be eating cake? In keeping with the dance during cake theme, how about a requirement that in order to get cake, a guest must perform an impromptu dance first? Guests must correctly answer the questions before getting their cake. If the bride and groom want their guests to stay after the cake is eaten, it is worth some extra effort to build some activities into the cake-cutting event so people will stick around longer.
