Who cuts the wedding cake?
The bride often designates a friend or family member to cut the cakes. When this is the case, the bride should choose one or two people to cut and serve the brides cake and one or two people to cut and serve the grooms cake. If you are expecting the caterer to cut the cakes, you should arrange this in advance, as the caterer must often hire one or two people specifically to cut and serve cake. At a country club or hotel, a member of the serving staff is often given the job of cutting cake, but again, be sure to arrange this in advance. If you have ordered a sheet cake to be cut and served in addition to the main cake(s), the people responsible for cutting the cake should be informed in advance when, or under which conditions, the additional cake should be cut. For example, should the additional cake be cut first and brought out on plates, or should it be cut only if you run out of the main cake or cakes?
