How to Arrange a Cake Table for a 50th Anniversary
- 1). Cover the table with a white tablecloth.
- 2). Top the tablecloth with a gold handkerchief laid at a 45 degree angle to the white tablecloth. The handkerchief should drape half as far down the sides of the table as the tablecloth to give a layered look to the table.
- 3). Set the decorated cake in the center of the table with the cake server on the right side of it if the person cutting the cake is right-handed or on the left for someone who is left-handed.
- 4). Line the basket with a golden bow, with a white cloth napkin and fill the basket with the forks for eating the cake. Set the basket to the left of the cake on the far end of the cake table.
- 5). Stack the cake plates on the right side of the table. The guests can thenmove down to the left side of the table to pick up a fork.
- 6). Set the two framed photographs of the couple at opposite corners at the back of the table so they can still be seen but will not be knocked over as guests get their cake.
