Cakes Etiquette

Question:
We're having a cupcake wedding cake. Do we cut into a cupcake together or skip the custom?
Answer:

Cupcakes are whimsical. They are charming. They tend to elicit giddy, gleeful responses from adults. But they are not wedding cakes, so if you plan to serve them, you need to accept that you're going to lose the ceremonial drama that ensues when you slice into a large pastry. If you still want to have a “cake moment,” you and your husband can each hold your own cupcake and take a small nibble (don't put them back!). Even simpler: Have your photographer take a shot of the two of you next to the tiers, then announce that dessert is about to be served.
