I’m not gonna lie- I LOVE cake. Birthdays, weddings… celebratory cake occasions- my favorites. International Talk Like a Pirate Day- this day should involve cake. Shaped like a ship. Or a wooden leg. Or a parrot… but then it may be confused with “talk like a parrot day”. That day doesn’t exist to my knowledge, but if it would be another occasion to have cake, I’d vote for it.
Some people are high-maintenance about their cake. Not me. I even love Ding Dongs. Do you know why? They’re basically cake… cake that is chocolate, and those are two of my favorite things. And that chocolate covering and white cream filling? Those are just little extras.
So, you can imagine that how incredibly excited I was to get to schedule cake tastings for the wedding. People should get married for stuff like this. Free cake tastings. Well, and sex. Which is also free- just so we’re clear. If you are getting married and you’re paying for either of these things, something is VERY wrong.
A friend told me this morning that he and his wife didn’t get any of their wedding cake. He said everyone talked about how great it was- so great that they apparently ate it all without leaving any for the bride and groom. This would be my worst nightmare. Right up there with being naked, covered in spiders, and running through a lightening storm. Yeah, I’ve put some thought into it. Our caterer already told us not to count ourselves in the head count for the reception dinner. He said the bride and groom don’t normally get a chance to eat because they don’t get left alone long enough. We made it very clear that we WOULD be eating. Something else we’re going to make clear? We’re getting some of our wedding cake! I’m so optimistic about that fact that I’m not even going to stash a pack of Ding Dongs in my bouquet.

Remember that traditionally, the bride and groom get to keep the top tier of the wedding cake (if it's a tiered cake), but I recommend that you go ahead and eat it while it's fresh. No matter what anyone tells you, the cake tastes nasty after it's been frozen for a year and you try to eat it on your first anniversary. Just use that as a good excuse to get some more cake!
I had the same thought as you and I specifically planned my reception so that Adam and I could eat dinner AND eat our cake, which we did. When the bride and groom sit down to eat, everyone else will too.
I agree about eating the top of your cake before your first anniversary. Why would anyone thinks it's a good idea to eat something that has been in your freezer for a year?!
As to eating at your own reception, I remember John and i didn't get a chance to do this because we were so busy talking to people. The club made us a picnic basket that we ate first thing when we got to the hotel. I now am very conscious of brides and grooms at every wedding I go to. I offer to bring them something. So, I will be more happy to do this for you, but it sounds like you are already prepared and have a plan to eat!!
