Wedding Cake Knife

The tradition of cutting the wedding cake is one that dates back to the ancient Roman Empire. Although the tradition has changed slightly (what bride would want a fully frosted wedding cake crumbled over her head?), the symbolism the cake represents remains the same. The following tips can help you select the one that's just right for your wedding.

Theme - Take a few moments to ponder the theme of your wedding; is it a romantic, contemporary, beachside, casual, etc? The specific theme of your wedding should be your initial guide to choosing the right wedding knife and cake server set.

Cake Style - The style of your cake should also help you select the perfect set. Take into consideration how ornate your cake will be, the colors, the flowers, and other accessories.

Price - Decide on how much you are willing to spend. Depending on the quality and design, cake server sets and knifes can run from as little as $20 to hundreds of dollars. Determine your budget, and then find the highest quality and best looking sets within your price range.

Research - Chances are you have a large stack of bridal magazines you used to garner ideas for other parts of your wedding, right? Go through them once more and tear out any sets you find that you like. You can also search online and through other catalogs that sell cake server sets. This will help give you ideas as to what you like (and don't like).
