Two Cakes for Pics/cutting and Serving

Jennifer, on October 27, 2021 at 11:09 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 4
I do want a really nice looking cake for pics / cutting, but I also want to serve one that’s absolutely delicious. I get that it could be both, but my experience has been that wedding cake taste kinda subpar… Our favorite cake is an Italian Creme Wedding Cake from one of our favorite local Italian restaurants. We’ve contacted the restaurant and they gave us the contact info of the lady that makes the cake and she’s agreed to make sheet cakes to serve to our guests for our wedding. I was thinking of having a pretty tiered display cake that’s mostly made of foam (except for a small part for cutting) and keep the sheet cake with the caterers to cut and serve for guests. Has anyone else done this?

    I have not done this.
    I think it would be fine though, guests won’t know they weren’t served the cake you cut. Just keep in mind the cutting cake being made of foam won’t save a ton of money. Wedding cakes are typically so expensive because of all the decorating and time that goes into it.

    We did something similar. We had three different flavors of sheet cakes that were cut up in the back and brought out after we cut out single 8” round cake. It worked great.

    Agreed. Wedding cakes can be super expensive. I think a sheet cake is a great alternative. I am doing the same. A two tiered cake for us to cut and a sheet cake to serve to our guests

    Nice! Smiley smile Glad I’m not the only one. And I love that you get much better choices in flavor with a sheet cake and not pay the premium of a wedding cake.
