Mmmm Cake!

One of the best parts about planning the wedding reception is the cake tasting. Not only can today’s wedding cakes be decorated in non-traditional and fun shapes and sizes, they also come in some amazing flavors. Say good-bye to boring white cake with butter cream frosting and say hello to chocolate papaya, peanut butter cup, pineapple coconut, and bananas foster flavored cakes. Now, a new problem emerges – which one do you select?

I have the perfect solution: select all of them!

I’m not suggesting that you have different flavored layers for your cake (although that is an option) – this also solves the problem of guest table decorations.

Wedding cake centerpieces:

Instead of spending more money on flowers or frilly centerpieces, you can use smaller wedding cakes as your guest table centerpieces. Not only does this solve the centerpiece dilemma, but it can also make the cake cutting ceremony more interactive and save your guests from having to wait in line for a piece of cake.

You can be as creative as you’d like. Here are a few ways you can incorporate this idea into your wedding reception:

· A larger wedding cake (real or Styrofoam) with individual replicas of the cake for each guest presented on a tiered centerpiece on each guest table

· A mid-sized cakes that serve 8-10 people at each table

You don’t have to have the miniature cakes as the centerpiece to the guest tables, you can set up a “cake table” or you can use the miniature cakes as customized place cards.

I guess you could say that with this idea, you can have your cake and eat it, too. (Yeah, I went there.)
