Cake Knives

The wedding cake has been a central part of the wedding celebration since the Roman times.  This being said, you can only imagine then how important the act of cutting the cake has become.  Friends, family and photographers alike gather around in the hopes to witness and document this sentimental moment.  But before the bride can demurely cover her husbands face in thick white icing, the cake must be cut.

So what do you cut your beautifully elaborate and expensive cake with?  A regular knife simply will not “cut” it on a special day like today.  Personalized cake knives or knives that go with the theme of your wedding, can add something special to the day and serve as a keepsake for years to come.

Cake knives are a beautiful way to add something extra to your special day.  If you are lucky enough to match them to your china pattern, they can quickly become a staple at any dinner party.  If not, you can always bring them out on your first wedding anniversary to cut the top layer of cake that tradition tells you to save.  Either way, personalized cake knives can be an inexpensive detail that you will cherish not only the day of your wedding, but for years to come!

    The cake cutting is a romantic moment for the couple and a great photo opportunity. During my wedding my husband and I gave speeches before the cake cutting to make the moment more dynamic for the guests and to be able to include the cake as an attractive backdrop to the sentimental moment we created with our speeches.
