Why you should keep the cake away from the stationary hors d'oeuvres….
The ceremony was over. The reception had started. We had a small celebration cake for the cake cutting and we placed it between the 2 stationary hors d'oeuvres on an elevated prop. A lady approached the hors d'oeuvres with her glass of red wine, and proceeded to place the glass next to the celebration cake. As she reached over to put some hors d'oeuvres onto a plate her elbow kicked the wineglass into the cake, splashing her red wine over the white cake, which panicked the lady into a quivering mass of ”What can I do to help?” I told her to please get a glass of white wine and that everything was going to be okay. I took the cake into the back and patted it dry. We added some flowers to the exposed area, brought it back out to the reception and turned the wine stained part of the cake away from the guests. Nobody spilled the beans to the bride and groom. The cake cutting went on without a hitch. The next morning the bride and groom and their entourage were laughing over the incident at breakfast. Planning a wedding in Vermont is aided by the experience of what not to do....
