Your wedding cake is more than just dessert – it’s a way to highlight your décor! No matter what type of cake or dessert you want, make sure it’s displayed as a feature at your wedding. Just like with every piece of décor, your wedding cake display is a great chance to show your personality and add to your theme. Plus, your dessert is the highlight of your menu, so you want to give it a chance to really shine! There are a few tricks to a great dessert table.
Where to Put Your Wedding Cake Display
If you’re doing a single cake, make sure to have it in a well-lit space where guests can see it. However, we also suggest a lower traffic area (meaning not close to the dance floor!). The last thing you want is anyone hitting or knocking over your beautiful cake! Avoid putting your wedding cake display directly in front of a window too since the cake can get too hot if the sun is shining in.
How to Pick the Table
When selecting the table for your wedding cake display, there are a couple of things to consider! First, you want to make sure it is sturdy. You don’t want to risk your cake falling over, so you’ll need a table that can handle the weight. This is especially true if you have a large cake. The size of the table will need to match the size of the cake. A smaller cake might do better on a round table, like our Wine Barrel Table!
Then, you’ll need to consider the design of the table. We have a white accent table that is perfect for use as a cake table. This white table is classy with a touch of vintage. Another favorite? Our white buffet table! This table is elegant and a little taller, so the cake can really pop.
If you’re doing a dessert table with a cake and multiple desserts, couples love our wooden farm tables. It’s beautiful on its own, so you can keep it bare, or if you’d like, you can add layers of fabric for extra color. These tables are eight feet long, so you have plenty of room for desserts and signs! Looking for the same look but a little smaller? Our five-foot Farmhouse Sweetheart Table also works well as a cake table.
Not to mention, all of our tables are extremely sturdy and can handle the job of supporting your cake.
Give Your Cake a Backdrop
Looking for your wedding cake display to stand out even more? Get a backdrop! Our wedding and event clients love our photogenic wedding backdrop rentals for their quality and beauty. All of our backdrop rentals are seven to eight feet tall and vary in width, so you can pick the size of the backdrop you need. Our Boxwood Hedge Wall is a popular backdrop since the deep green always make the cakes and desserts pop.
If you are looking for a rustic touch, you will love our pallet wall backdrop. Our Wood Pallet Walls are one of our most popular inventory items!
These versatile backdrops can fit any need. Each backdrop is built to self-standing and secure. This means you can hang floral arrangements, neon signs, or just about anything else from them. Feel free to customize your backdrop to match your theme and design.
Don’t Forget the Signs!
One important thing you’ll need for your wedding cake display is signs! You’ll need signs throughout your wedding, and you definitely shouldn’t forget the dessert table signs. Having a proper sign for your dessert table can keep your guests from asking, “What’s that?” You can let people know what flavors you’ve chosen and include any important allergy information. Plus, it’s just another opportunity to fit your wedding cake display in with your design. You can add cute signs, like “Love is sweet; have a treat” on top of your informative signs.
