Cutting a wedding cake symbolises the first task the married couple undertake together.  In some ceremonies, once the wedding cake is cut, it is fed to the bride by the groom and then by the bride to the groom.  This signifies the promise that they will provide for one another.

After taking so much time to get your perfect wedding cake make sure you take plenty of memorable photographs before, during and after the wedding cake is cut to get the most from the whole wedding cake experience.

Once the wedding cake has been ceremonially cut by the married couple the wedding cake is usually whisked away to be cut for your wedding guests to either enjoy as a dessert or to take away with them and it is also sent out to those wedding guests that were unable to attend.

Some thought and consideration needs to go into deciding how your want your wedding cake to be cut, not only for the wedding cake cutting ceremony.  You may wish to keep the top tier in a traditional manner for the christening of your first child.  You may wish to keep the wedding cake for yourselve and serve your guests with cut slices from square cutting cake ideal for ease of serving quickly and making it easier for accurate portion sizes. 

Always ask your cake designer and baker for the best way to serve and handle your wedding cake and how to cut a wedding cake as they will be able to guide you through the process.
