Wedding Cakes To Go
The Wedding Cake is Wedding Food that can be ‘Pre-Cut’ for the Reception
 Probably the most important item on the wedding food menu is the wedding cake.
The cutting of the wedding cake makes for traditional wedding photos as well as being ‘the’ dessert at the reception. It is also the wedding food that can be nerve-wracking to decide on, design, and keep from collapsing, leaning, toppling, sliding, and generally making a mess.
The wedding cake is part of the wedding food menu but some couples are opting to hand out pre-cut cakes in small boxes for their guests to take home instead of serving it at the reception.
#1 Wedding Food: Pre-Cut Wedding Cake from Sheet Cakes
When it comes to wedding food and the wedding cake, the easiest and most economical way to be sure that each guest “gets a slice” is to create a sheet cake made from the same recipe as the wedding cake.
The wedding cake sheets are then pre-cut and put in small gift boxes provided by a company such as Oriental Trading. The boxes are very attractive and available by the dozen at below-wholesale prices.
These boxes of cake are kept cold in a refrigerator and distributed to guests at the end of the reception.
This “Wedding Food to Go” is becoming more popular as more bridal couples are opting for “less fuss” wedding food such as finger food and helps to bring a reception to a close. The boxes of cake are handed out as “thank you for attending” favors instead of being a traditional part of the wedding food menu served during the reception.
The ‘real’ decorated wedding cake can be smaller, more elegant, and left intact for the bride and groom to cut and be photographed.
#2 Wedding Food: Wedding Cupcakes and Cupcake Wedding Cakes
Cupcake wedding cakes have become as popular as the pre-cut wedding sheet cakes---if not more so.
Because wedding food is displayed as attractively as possible at a wedding reception, it’s hard to envision a beautiful wedding cake made out of cupcakes. But, believe it not, the creation of a cupcake wedding cake can take one’s breath away as seen here.
Cupcake wedding cakes have become the rage due to their degree of decorating, flavor, and presentation options. In addition, a cupcake wedding cake is much less expensive to make than a traditional wedding cake.
As part of the wedding food presentation, a cupcake wedding cake offers an incredible variety of options for display as a focal point or wedding table centerpiece.
In addition, cupcake wedding cakes as “Wedding Food to Go” can be given at the close of the reception to your wedding guests in beautifully designed containers.
