EVERY WEDDING CAKE QUESTION ANSWERED
EVERY WEDDING CAKE QUESTION YOU’VE EVER HAD, ANSWERED
By Jaimie Mackey Updated on 10/12/21
Bride and Groom at SingleTree Winery in Abbotsford BC
Ah, the wedding cake. The confectionery pièce de résistance of the big day. A
detail so significant, it has its very own moment at the reception. Who would’ve
thought a baked good could be elevated to such high esteem? Basically, anyone
that’s been dreaming about their wedding day since they can remember. And while
everyone loves wedding cake, choosing what to serve for this momentous occasion
is no cakewalk.
You’ve got your fillings and frostings, aplenty. More styles and visual
adornments than we can ever even imagine. And then there are toppers and dessert
tables, and…oh my. If you’re starting to get a little overwhelmed and getting
ready to wave the white flag, don’t worry. We’re here to lend a hand and guide
you through this tasty process.
“DO WE HAVE TO PICK JUST ONE FLAVOR?”
Why limit yourself to one cake flavor when you can have two—or more? Bakers
today are frequently crafting tiers that feature different cake and filling
combinations to satisfy both halves of the couple, as well as their guests. So
if you’d rather have a dark chocolate cake with peanut butter filling, while
your partner is all about that salted caramel or seasonal peach preserves, have
both. Talk to your baker about strategizing which tiers feature each flavor to
get a more even divide, and consider a slightly larger cake—your guests will
want to try both offerings.
“WHEN SHOULD WE CUT OUR CAKE?”
While it might seem arbitrary, the timing of your cake cutting actually plays a
big role in your reception. In the past, the cake cutting was the very last
moment in the reception—signalling to guests that they were welcome to head
home. Though it usually happens much earlier today, cutting your cake still
serves that same purpose (especially for older guests). These days, the cake is
usually cut toward the end of dinner, just before dancing begins, and is the
last “official” event of the evening. Slicing on the earlier side will let your
grandmother or great uncle know they’re welcome to depart whenever they’re ready
and will signal that they won’t miss any of the formalities if they choose to
head home.
There are a few other bonuses to cutting the cake early (even before you take
your seats for dinner). First, it ensures your photographer gets those pictures.
If you’ve scheduled your photographer to leave around 9 p.m., cutting the cake
at 7 p.m. means they won’t miss it. It also makes slicing and serving easier for
your catering staff. If you cut the cake before dinner, they can work on slicing
it once entrees have been served, and can pass out pieces as a plated dessert
course before dancing gets underway.
“WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO CUT A WEDDING CAKE?”
Have you and your partner practised cutting a cake together before? Probably
not, and we don’t blame you. Having two sets of hands on that cake knife can
definitely be tricky. The neatest methods are either the box or wedge options.
With the bride closest to the cake and the groom behind her, place both of your
hands onto the knife. Cut an inch into the cake and slice down cleanly. Then,
make a connecting cut for a wedge, using the cake knife to lift the wedge out
and onto the plate. Skip the serving spatula, which is much larger than the
slice should be and will just make a mess.
For an even neater option, go with the box method: After you make that first
slice, make a second parallel cut an inch over. Then, insert the knife
vertically at the back of your two cuts and use it to push the slice out onto
the plate.
“WHAT SHOULD A GROOM’S CAKE LOOK LIKE AND WHEN IS IT SERVED?”
Traditionally, groom’s cakes were the wedding favor, not another dessert. The
cake was sliced, boxed, and given to guests to take home. Single women would
then sleep with the cake under their pillow, hoping to dream of their future
groom—hence the cake’s name. These days, a groom’s cake is a chance to add
something special for the groom to a celebration that can often feel like it’s
all about the bride. Displayed alongside the wedding cake, a groom’s cake can
take any form and be any flavor, whether a traditionally-shaped cake in rich
chocolate with a liqueur filling or the funfetti of his childhood, carved into
the shape of his prized grill or emblazoned with his favourite team’s logo.
Since the cake used to be used as a favor instead of dessert, there aren’t any
hard-and-fast rules about slicing and serving. Most couples opt to slice the
groom’s cake immediately after cutting the wedding cake, and serving slices
alongside pieces of the wedding cake so guests have a choice of flavors. If the
cakes are both large enough, you could plate a duet of slices for each guest, or
simply put one flavor on each plate and let your family and friends choose what
they’d prefer.
“DO WE NEED TO OFFER ADDITIONAL DESSERTS?”
It’s sweet and served after dinner, so wedding cake sounds like dessert to us.
As a wedding tradition (and a favourite celebratory dessert year-round), a slice
of cake is a perfect way to end the meal.
Of course, there’s nothing stopping you from adding a little variety. For some
extra sweetness, have your caterers set trays of truffles and chocolate-covered
strawberries on each table as a sweet bite that’s not quite as filling as a big
slice of cake. Or opt for a composed cake plate, with a scoop of ice cream or a
drizzle of sauce to enhance that slice. You could also use additional desserts
as a late-night snack, setting out milk and cookies, or arranging for an ice
cream sundae bar to give guests extra energy for that late night dance party.
“CAN WE SAVE THE LEFTOVER TIERS OF OUR CAKE?”
It’s a long-standing tradition for the bride and groom to save the top tier of
their wedding cake to share on their first anniversary. Just make sure you tell
your baker and caterer in advance. This way your baker can provide a box to fit
the top tier, and your caterer won’t accidentally serve it. The next day, wrap
the cake tightly in multiple layers of plastic wrap, then tuck it in the box and
wrap the whole thing in more plastic wrap to fend off freezer burn.
If there is more cake leftover, offer slices for your guests to take home as an
extra treat. If it hasn’t yet been sliced, wrap it up and bring it to brunch the
next day as a surprise dessert for those guests who are still in town.
“DO WE HAVE TO HAVE A WEDDING CAKE?”
We’ve yet to have a run-in with the wedding cake police, so we say do whatever
sounds good to you. If you and your partner prefer fruit pies, doughnuts, or
cookies instead of cake, those all make great wedding dessert options. Arrange
them on cake stands or pretty trays, and don’t forget to share one with your new
spouse as the first sweet bite of your marriage.
Not into sweets? Don’t skip dessert entirely, as your guests will be expecting
it as a conclusion to the meal. Instead, talk to your caterer about a plated
option that can be served after the entrees, or arrange a dessert bar where
guests can choose whatever tempts their sweet tooth and skip that cake cutting
photo altogether. If coffee or a nightcap is more your speed, pair the sweets
with your favourite way to end the night for a personalized touch.
