How to Cut a Wedding Cake

March 25, 2011 by Jenn

As a new cake decorator, you would think that I would know how to:

1. bake the cake (check),

2. decorate the cake (check),

3. cut the cake (. . . ummmm, not so much!)

So before I get asked this question by the brides that have honoured me by hiring me for their weddings (and look like an idiot while I would have stood there stammering “uhhhh, umm, huh . . .”), I thought I would research how to go about cutting a cake that serves 200 people!

I found this helpful serving chart here:

Obviously, if you are having a tiered wedding cake, you (or your cake servers), will need to cut each different sized layer according to the chart.

Hopefully this is helpful to anyone who needs to serve a group of large (or small) people cake!

LET THEM EAT CAKE!

    I’m a healthy living blogger, travel addict, foodie, and small dog owner living in your area. It’s funny because the only way I found your website was through a Facebook Ad.

    Anywho – I thought I would stop by and say hello! 🙂

    Looking forward to trying your baked goods at one of the local farmer’s markets!

      I hope you find us! We are hoping to be at many of the local markets this summer. Thanks for reading and leaving a note! It’s nice to meet a fellow local blogger…I don’t know many!
