Why do you hold the knife upside down to cut the wedding cake?

Answer 1

With the knife turned upside down for luck, they cut the first slice together. (The caterer must cut the icing first to prevent the cake from falling off.) "Cut the cake" was advertised by the toast maker or best man and drizzled with champagne or sparkling wine.

Answer 2

The bride holds the knife in her right hand and the groom's hand closes over hers. With the knife upside down, for luck, they cut the first slice together. Your caterer should cut through the icing first to prevent your cake toppling over
