Observing the bride and groom push cake into each other’s faces is a long-enjoyed custom for weddings in the US, but there are numerous more fun wedding cake activities to consider as well.

One new option that’s increasing in popularity in the US is to have cupcakes instead of a cake. This is usually cheaper than having a cake and it can be a good deal of fun. Cupcakes are decorated in alignment with the wedding theme, just as a cake is, but the cupcakes are rather arranged on tiered cake plates and displayed on a cake table until it’s time to eat them. The cupcakes can be simply passed out on plates to each wedding guest.

You can construct activities into the cupcake presentation. For Instance, the cupcakes for the bride and groom might have a different decoration from the ones for the guests. To keep things interesting, you can have the Prescott bakery hide a valuable prize in one or several of the cupcakes.

Many guests believe that once the cake is cut, they are free to leave the reception if they so desire. Since cake cutting usually comes after the meal and after dancing and other traditional celebration activities, many people take the opportunity to leave the party after the cake is cut and enjoyed.

If you want your guests to remain after the cake is eaten, it is worthwhile to build some activities into the cake-cutting event so guests will stay around. As an example, every guest could receive a slip of paper with their piece of cake. The slips of paper might give instructions for the rest of the evening or might ask the guest to perform a little dance, to give the groom or bride a kiss, or ask them to take the flower girl out on the dance floor for a spin. The element of the unknown will keep the guests guessing and supply some entertainment as the instructions are implemented.

Add a little creativity to your wedding and it will be a night to remember for everyone.
