Cake Cutting Etiquette
The wedding cake cutting ceremony is treasured and greatly anticipated by the wedding guests. But there is a protocol cutting wedding cake. Here is a brief cutting guide for wedding cake. The bride and groom make the first slice using a special (often engraved) wedding cake knife designated for this special cake cutting event. The groom places his hand over the bride's on the knife handle and together they make the first cut. This is done to symbolize the new life they will share together. After the first cut is made, the wedding cake cutting and serving duty is then handed over to someone else (usually a staff member). After the first two pieces are cut, the bride and groom stand together and feed each other a piece of their cake! Throughout the years this has become a most memorable tradition as it often not known until that moment if the couple will be eating or wearing their cake. |
