Table Top Cake Tables ... Elegant and Beautiful

After month and months of deciding on the flavor of the cake, what the cake will look like and what topper you will be choosing ... you need to follow through and make plans for the cake table and presentation. This magnificent labor of love should be placed in such a way that all eyes are drawn to it. The cake is second to the bride and her gown in the grand scheme of things.

The wedding cake is usually displayed from the very beginning of the reception, until you cut it. If you're adding special lighting to the room, add a spotlight for the cake table. Otherwise, park it somewhere well lit and in full sight of the guests, but off the dance floor, or it might wind up on the floor during the first fast dance.

Cake table secrets

The base of the cake determines the size of the table. Make sure they are in proportion to each other. A huge, round table makes even the stateliest cake look minuscule. Make sure that the table is sturdy and is either on wheels or light enough with the cake for two waiters to carry it. After the tables are covered with a table cloth, you can attach swags, garlands, and sprays with safety pins in the appropriate places.
Last but not least ... one of my favorite new cake embellishments .... the table top cake table! Gorgeous, unique and reusable. This will set your cake from the rest!
