Cake Tippers!

We’re borrowing this great list from Premier Bride that covers tips and advice on how to make the most out of your wedding cake!

Let them Eat Cake…and more!

Accompany the cake with alternatives such as cream puffs, tarts and/or chocolate dipped strawberries. This is a great way to please all the different sweet tooths at your wedding.

Variety is the spice of life.

If you decide on a basic tiered cake, use different flavors / fillings for each layer to appeal to more tastes.
Serve double duty.

Set one small cake at each guest table instead of a centerpiece. This is a unique and edible centerpiece for each table! (If children are invited this may not be the best choice.)

Presentation is everything.

Are you on a tight budget? Have only the top layer of your cake real (the rest made of Styrofoam) and then serve a less expensive sheet cake. This way you can have a beautiful cake for presentation while keeping your costs down.

A touch of history.

Incorporate old photographs of the bride and groom and/or ancestors for a vintage-looking table cloth for the cake table.

Personalized tops.

Make your cake topper unique to you by using figurines that show your personalities. Some companies will even specially make figurines in your likeness!

Good luck.

If you are superstitious, make sure that the bride is the first to cut into the wedding cake. The Romans believed it was an omen of happiness and good fortune.

His and hers.

If you and your groom have very different tastes, try two small his-and-her cakes, the Bride’s cake being white and fancy and the grooms ‘tuxedo style’ in a black and white.

The FUN cake.

Let the groom show off his interest or hobbies by having a smaller “Groom’s cakes.” If the groom has a passion for football, why not have a fun football shaped cake. Or perhaps he loves fishing, how about a whimsical fish-shaped cake. Have these surround the actual wedding cake. This can be fun and a great conversation piece.

Sentimental touch.

Add more meaning to the cake moment by personally serving a piece to one another's parents after you've fed each other.
