In an Indian setting, wedding cakes are usually cut after the wedding and at the reception. However, the cake cutting could be just before dinner, during dinner or after.

Couples who opt for cutting wedding cakes do this, they say, for two reasons: One, this is the first thing both bride and groom do together after being married; and two, when they feed each other a slice of cake, it signifies that they are providing for each other. For these reasons, cutting wedding cakes is assuming a lot of importance in Indian weddings.

These days, wedding cakes are part and parcel of Indian wedding receptions as they are served to the guests and invitees at the reception. Now, the wedding cakes have become really large and with several layers and exquisite icing for decoration. On the top, there is usually a couple signifying the newly married couple.
