I was talking with a past bride the other day about how she didn't have plates and such set up on her cake table and it got me thinking. Here are some cake related tips ...
Check with your caterer or host site to be sure that there will be plates provided to serve your cake on; most bakers do not provide plates. And you also want to have some sort of decorations for your cake table; even if it is just scattered rose petals, it makes for a much nicer presentation than just a table with a plain old table cloth. Also, ask about a professional cake server to cut your cake. Some bakers will offer this service for an additional fee, you can also check with your caterer or the reception site to see if they can do it for you. Cutting a wedding cake is a bit different than cutting a regular cake. Remember the old 'Presentation is everything'? You have paid good money for a beautiful wedding cake, you don't want to have it mutilated! If you can't get a pro, at least make sure there is someone appointed to be the cake server.
