First this isn't our cake but it will be very similar! We are doing centerpieces. They will actually have the table numbers on the cakes, too.

I just wanted to share because we actually cut a lot of costs on flowers, centerpieces, table number decor, and having to order one large cake to feed 160 people. It saved us 300$ by ordering 16 small cakes and one bride and groom cake (just to cut).

That'd a cool idea! It wouldn't take as long for everyone to get their cake this way? either

A coworker went to a wedding where they did cake centerpieces and they loved it! Cute idea! Her table was a work table so they had a work themed cake. Each table was a themed cake for that group of people.

Maybe a UO, but I'm not a fan of cakes (or any other edibles) as a centerpiece. I can't give a solid reason why, though. Maybe the thought of someone having to lean into the center of the table to cut the cake for everyone to serve it.

I went to a wedding years ago that did this. I'm not a fan. The cake was in the way and we didn't want to touch it accidentally. Then when it was cut, a messy cut cake with crumbs was all over the table.
