Cake boxes....needed or not?

We're serving cake at the evening bash as well & we are going to provide plates & serviettes. If they don't eat it there then there will be more left over for me to pig out on afterwards!!

I occasionally provide cake boxes with wedding cakes but the problem with them is that you have to cut the cake a certain size and you still need to wrap it in something as well. we offer fruit cake ready boxed to put out alongside the wedding cake and its a pain getting it cut and boxed.I would just leave serviettes with the cut cake and people can take it if they want to

I bought some cake boxes and sent them back! They were soooo small and suitable for only small slices (more cubes) of the traditional fruitcake as there is no way you could cut sponge up that small.

We are having the cake for the evening but also providing napkins (they will be pretty patterned ones) if people wish to take cake away.

Cake boxes didn't occur to me and I don't think I have seen them at any weddings I have been too. Like you say, if someone wants to take some home they will just wrap it in a napkin. I always thought that cake boxes were used more to post cake to people who didn't attend, but again it didn't occur to me to post cake to anyone who didn't come!

Can you tell I llike cake and wanted to keep it all to myself! lol

Lisa I'm hoping that people leave our cake as we have 4 different flavours and I want a bit of all of it! Our flight isn't till 9.30 the following night so plenty of time to fill up on cake!!

Ok no boxes for me then! Saves me having to buy something else......I'm not bothered if my Mum thinks it'll be a nice touch!

I'm going for a squished cake!!! Yum all good to me!!

I bought cake boxes that were too small so will use napkins totake away and put some out on the buffet table.

I too am a cake lover so hope there is loads left for me but just in case I have ordered a top tier just for me which my BM will put in my Bridal suite as soon as the cake is cut as I am not taking any chances ?

I won't be doing them. Just another added expense that might not even get used.

It's quite and old fashioned tradition so that you can post peices of cake to guests that were unable to attend.

I dont think I would eat a peice of cake that had arrived in the post though.
