Traditionally in Western weddings the bride and groom cut it together each with one hand on the knife. The bride and groom do not usually portion the cake - they simply make one symbolic piercing movement into the centre of the cake and then draw the knife down and through so that they make a single slice from centre to perimeter - a radial cut, not a diameter.

If it is a catered affair then usually the top tier of the cake is real, but the lower tiers may be artificial. The catering staff will have already cut and portioned the lower section of the cake and plated it up in the kitchen so that it can be rushed out to the guests as soon as the cutting ceremony has been completed.

In some traditions the top tier of the wedding cake is saved and is used as the christening cake when the first child is born.

Both the bride and the groom should hold the knife and cut the cake together.
