We decided to cut the cake right away after dinner. The main reason behind this was so the staff could remove the tables from the dance floor without having to awkwardly tell the guests to scoot their boot! (We warned those sitting at the dance floor tables with little signs saying they better be ready to shake their booty all night.... Also we reserved the bar seats for them so they could sit if they needed too.)
So, once the last of the guests had gone up for seconds (thirds?) The DJ announced that it was time to cut the cake!
I was never one to dream about a fancy or elaborate wedding cake. If it was too artful, I would have felt bad about cutting/eating it! I found an inspiration picture right here on the Bee and the bakery executed it perfectly!
I had made Mr. Aardvark practice cutting things with me before the wedding so we had this down! The trick is to not cut a whole piece out, just a little cube to share.
The beer cans and heart garland made a nice (if non-traditional) backdrop! I had warned Mr. Aardvark that if there was any cake smashing he would live to regret it. Lucky for
I got him back though! He also go a smudge on his nose! Vengeance was mine! And then we made up!
The whole thing went so much faster than I thought it would. I realized we were only cutting into and then eating a bite of cake, but for some reason, I thought there would be more too it. More...staging maybe? I don't really know. What I do know was the cake tasted AMAZING. I was very sad to find out, upon returning from our honeymoon that all the leftovers were eaten! (We did not bother to freeze the top layer). Continental Bakery always does a great job with cakes and our wedding was no exception.
With the cake eaten, it was almost time to dance!
