Top Song Ideas for a Wedding Cake Cutting Ceremony
by Gregg Hollmann of Ambient DJ Service
A wedding cake cutting ceremony is a fun and whimsical tradition of a wedding reception where the bride and groom slice a piece of cake and feed one another. It’s typical for the band or DJ to play a song or two to accompany the cake cutting festivities. Listed below are twenty of our top selections for cake cutting songs, updated for 2016. Of course, these songs should be accompanied by a delicious wedding cake from My Daughter’s Cakes!

Tips to Ensure a Smooth Cake Cutting Ceremony
- Prior to initiating the ceremony, make sure that the knife, forks and plate are present at the cake table.
- Grooms – remember to wear your jackets.
- When feeding one another, it is customary to tease your partner with a dab of cake to the nose or lips. Smashing cake in the other’s face is not advised.
- Smile for your wedding photographer and doting guests. The cake cutting ceremony is one of the best photo opportunities of the night!
