By tradition, cutting (and eating a part of) your wedding cake signifies nearing the end of your wedding reception. In the West, cutting the cake comes after the dancing so couples typically wait approximately an hour into the dancing before proceeding. However, if you don’t want to interrupt your dance party, plan to cut your wedding cake at the beginning of the reception right after you make your grand entrance.

The next big question: do you need to serve a slice of cake to your guests? If you know some cake-haters among your invitees then could have your caterer place an “alternative cake” or another dessert like a chocolate truffle on each guest’s plate. You may also opt for a raspberry sorbet cups garnished with a sprig of mint, or set out a plate of profiteroles on each table. Sounds all yummy huh?? Mmm!
