• Similar to a beautiful frame that surrounds a lovely painting, the cake table should be decorated to complement the wonderful confection that it holds.
• Decorating the cake table needn’t be time consuming nor expensive. You should have something appropriate in your closet or on the dining room table.
• A lace tablecloth would be lovely draped across the cake table; A length of tulle loosely billowed on the top of the table gives the impression of your cake floating on clouds; Or, swag the table with tulle, organza, lame, or garlands of greenery and flowers.• If your motto is "Life’s too short, eat dessert first," then you may want to go all out with your desserts. You should have a dessert bar with plates of different scrumptious delicacies – iced cookies, brownies, mini bite-sized cheesecakes – with your wedding cake as the centerpiece. Speaking of centerpieces, if one large cake to feed hundreds of people isn’t your thing, how about a small (only big enough for two) cake which you and your new spouse get to cut and feed each other, and in place of the more traditional floral or candle centerpieces for each guest table, have a single tiered cake that serves 8-10 people.
