Wise Wedding Cake Tips

A classic wedding cake is a traditional part of the wedding.

The classic bride’s wedding cake should reflect a balance between girlish charm and adult elegance. A cake of snowy white or cream ivory elegance topped with fresh petals of white roses.

Consider using a pinkish white icing with appliqués or even a unique China pattern. Highlight the cake with tiny tea lights and candles. The classic cake typically combines classic and elegant colours. Champagnes, blushes, creams, light pinks and whites will be beautiful when accented with light greens from the stems of these flowers.

Transporting your cake

Make sure that the cake is constructed on a sturdy base. The board should be made of three or more thicknesses of cardboard. If the base is very heavy, then the cake should be placed on thick board or plywood.

If the cake is to be on pillars, it should be transported unassembled. Toppers, candles and other decorations should also be separated from the cake.

Cutting the cake

Typically the bride and groom make the first two cuts. To start, the bride will place her right hand on the handle of the knife. Then the groom puts his hand over hers. Begin cutting on the bottom tier of the cake with the point of the knife and then make two cuts. Remove the small slice and place on a plate.

Do not cut far under the second tier or this will cause the cake to tumble later because it will be too top heavy. After the bottom layer has been cut all the way around, begin working on the second layer The cutting continues in a circular manner until all of the cake has been cut and served.
