A Knife and Server That Makes the Cut

A special wedding cake knife and server set is a big part of one of the oldest traditions at a wedding. The bride and groom both hold onto the knife and cut the first piece of cake. They then lay the piece of cake onto the server and each take a small piece and put it into each others mouths.

The tradition of the bride and groom cutting the cake represents the first thing they do together as husband and wife. Both of them, together, holding onto the knife and cutting the cake, shows how they will cooperate in their married life. It is a tradition that goes back hundreds of years.

These serving sets can range from simple to very elaborate. You can have a very plain set that is very practical and could be used anywhere later. Or, you may choose to go for a very elaborate engraved set. They may be made of silver or have crystal handles. Many times couples have the set engraved with their names and the date of the wedding. You can also add ribbons and small flowers onto the handles of the knife and server for an even more elegant touch.With the vast selection available, you can spend as little or as much as you want.
