| Cutting and Preserving
the Cake |
|
| |
| The first cut of the wedding
cake is ceremonial. A knife tied with a ribbon is
set next to the cake; the bride picks up the knife
(it shouldn’t be handed to her), and cuts a small
piece from the bottom layer of the cake. This is
the piece the bride and groom will feed each other.
Usually, after the first ceremonial cut, the cake
is taken from the reception area to the kitchen,
where it is sliced, plated, and, in many instances,
garnished with berries, edible flowers, or the like. |
|
| Once in the kitchen, if the
cake is tiered, the top layer will be removed; it
should be carefully wrapped so it can be frozen.
(It’s traditional for the couple to celebrate their
first anniversary by eating the preserved top layer.)
If the cake has buttercream frosting, remind the
caterer to chill the top layer for at least one
hour in the refrigerator so the icing can harden.
Then have the cake wrapped in plastic wrap and placed
in a cake box, which will also be wrapped in plastic.
The remainder of the cake is then sliced and served. |
