There is a lot of talk about wedding cakes - about their appearance, trends in decorations and decorations, type, size and quantity. After all, every young couple will find their own special and dreamy wedding cake, but there is one thing, for which is not talked about so much, namely the time to serve the cake. Traditionally, we have created that the wedding cake is cut around midnight, after the wedding ceremony, however, trends are changing, and nowadays it is more and more often done right after the wedding ceremonies. Yes, you didn't listen - even before dinner, dancing and other activities.

Wedding cake - evening queen

Wedding planner and decorator Iluta Piternika / MintDeco advocates the idea of serving the wedding cake right after the main event of the day - wedding ceremonies. She points out that more and more couples are choosing just such a solution.

“The wedding cake symbolizes the first treat of the new family, so I think it only makes sense to serve it after the wedding ceremonies.

If the wedding cake is served after the ceremony, it can really become the queen of the evening for a moment, because the guests will not be there yet so overwhelmed with the emotions of the wedding ball and will really pay attention to the cake," assured Iluta.

She has observed that young couples often spend a lot of time choosing a cake - they find a reliable confectioner, taste, think about the visual appearance of the cake. "But often guests, eating the wedding cake at night, don't really appreciate it at all and does not pay due attention to it. I personally cannot eat the wedding cake at night either, but if it is served immediately after the ceremony, then I judged with the greatest pleasure", Iluta shares his experience.

It takes time to serve the cake

Of course, if the couple has decided that the right time to present their wedding cake will be right after the ceremony, then before all issues related to logistics should be thought through.

1. For example, will enough time be allocated for serving the cake. "A wedding cake is definitely easy to serve immediately after the ceremony if it takes place outdoors.

   

2. In popular churches on Saturdays, wedding ceremonies are held one after the other, so it is difficult to serve in this case cake, because the next wedding couple is already on their heels. So that the cake can be appreciated and beautifully presented and tasted, for that it takes time," advises Iluta.

   

Wedding cake is no longer just a cake

But let's be frank - the story is no longer just about the cake. The story is also about scenery, visual aesthetics and what not not just how the cake tastes, but how it looks.

Iluta Piternika indicates that decorating the cake table is increasingly being thought of now. "More and more weddings decorators are also involved in decorating the cake. The young couple wants the visual form of the cake to be in harmony with the overall wedding stylistics, so the decorators use live flowers and plants to decorate the cake, which are also used in the celebration room in design.

That is to say, so that everything is created in a unified style and that the cake is not only simply placed somewhere, but also taken care of, so that the place where it will be placed is beautifully decorated,” so Iluta. She points out - the place, because not always that there will be a traditional dessert table. The wedding cake can even be hung in a swing, which will give it additional aesthetics and attractiveness.

Also take care of guests with various food intolerances

Iluta invites young couples to also think about guests with various food intolerances. "I think it's a very nice gesture on the part of the new couple to additionally order a small vegan wedding cake so that those guests who do not consume eggs, dairy products or flour in their diet would also not feel deprived and could enjoy serving the cake a moment," advises Iluta.
