Wedding Cake Activities

By Leonida McEachin


Upon arrival at the wedding reception, numerous guests going for the cake table so they can appreciate the cake. Believe it or not, there are many more activities that can make the wedding cake more about enjoyable and less about tradition.

Of course, viewing the bride and groom push cake into each various other's mouths is a long-enjoyed tradition, however there are many more fun - and less messy - tasks to think about.

One brand-new option that's gaining appeal is to have cupcakes instead of a cake. Cupcakes are decorated in alignment with the wedding theme, simply as a cake is, but the cupcakes are rather arranged on tiered cake plates and displayed on a cake table till it's time to consume them.

Now, exactly what's fun about making use of cupcakes instead of a whole wedding cake is you can save money, certainly, as lots of reception halls and caterers charge a per slice cost to serve the wedding and cut cake, however you can also construct tasks into the cupcake presentation. For instance, the cupcakes that are for the couple can have a various decoration than the ones for the visitors.

As an extra touch, you can have the baker consist of an unique prize in one or numerous cupcakes. A little appeal or tiny toy can be baked into the cupcake. Whoever gets the beauty succeeds a special prize. These rewards can vary from a present basket or present certificate to a bistro to a dance with the bride-to-be or bridegroom.

Some new brides like to make use of a Southern tradition and have charms baked into the wedding cake. Similar to the idea above for cupcakes, this involves baking little beauties or small toys (however typically charms) into the cake.

Not everyone enjoys cake. How about a task for those who won't be consuming cake? They can be needed to do the "Macarena" or the chicken dance during the time when everyone else is consuming cake. If they manage to do the dance continually while the various other visitors delight in cake, they succeed a prize. Or they merely get to take a seat, as now they are tired!

In keeping with the dance during cake style, how about a requirement that in order to get cake, a visitor must perform an unscripted dance first? Or there could be trivia questions about the couple or about popular culture. Visitors must correctly respond to the questions prior to getting their cake. There could be competitors among tables or individuals for most concerns answered properly.

Lots of people think that as soon as the cake is cut, they are free to leave if they wish. Considering that cake cutting typically comes after the meal and after dancing and other standard party activities, many people take the opportunity to leave the celebration after the cake is cut and delighted in.

If the bride and groom want their guests to stay after the cake is consumed, it is worth some extra effort to build some activities into the cake-cutting event so individuals will stick around longer. This can be as simple as informing people not to leave, or can be more subtle and fun.

Each person might get a slip of paper with his or her cake. These slips of paper could be prepared ahead and offered to the catering company with directions that one folded strip of paper be placed on each plate with the cake. The paper might offer an agenda for the remainder of the night or might ask its recipient to do a little dance, to head over to offer the groom or bride-to-be a kiss, or might ask to take the flower girl out on the dance floor for a spin. The unknown will keep all the visitors suspecting and offer some home entertainment as the instructions are carried out.

Upon arrival at the wedding reception, many visitors going for the cake table so they can admire the cake. Cupcakes are embellished in positioning with the wedding theme, simply as a cake is, however the cupcakes are instead organized on tiered cake plates and displayed on a cake table until it's time to eat them. Some bride-to-bes like to make use of a Southern custom and have appeals baked into the wedding cake. Comparable to the concept above for cupcakes, this includes baking little beauties or small toys (however usually charms) into the cake.
