Cake Cutting
Traditionally the bride and / or groom
often make their toast at this time presenting a perfect
photo opportunity. The bride and groom cut the cake where
ever they find it easiest forth them to cut and is photogenic
for the photographer. The groom places his right hand
over the bride's, which holds the knife. Together they
cut a small piece from the back bottom tier. Traditionally
the groom feeds the bride first, a small mouthful easily
washed down by a sip of champagne. Then the bride feeds
the groom. Then, if they want they can serve a piece to
their in-laws.
As
they depart from that cake two people are need at the
cake serving table. One person for cutting the cake and
a second person should be assisting with the plates so
that the person who is actually cutting the cake does
not have to handle the plates. The second person had the
responsibility of replenishing plates, forks and napkins,
removing support plates, legs and etc generally keeping
the table tidy. The cake serving person should put on
a latex glove on the hand that will not be holding the
knife, this protects the guests as well as bring much
neater for the cake server. (Using the cake server and
the knife to transfer the cake to the plate is slow) The
gloved hand is much faster and actually less messy.
Remove
the cardboard cover, place in container under the table.
A container (tub, box or trash bag) for the plates, legs
and etc has been placed under the table for the server's
convenience in removing those items from the table. |
