21 cakes for a single ceremony
Wedding caterers are often'called upon to deal with a diversity! of cultural ! I approaches to weddings. | . Sometimes the variations | can be fairly demanding. j’ -I When Riverlea (Caterers were j picked to cater to a Samoan | wjedding, (faaipoipoiga)j ! last ; year the most startling departure from normal! catering was ! the quantity of wedding cakes. | | j The bride was 21 on the day of her wedding so the family ordered a j wedding cake 1 for every I year of her life.' ‘‘All the prominent! elders a'nd | ministers attending the wedding iwere given a separate 1 wedding
cake each,” said Kay Lysaght of Riverlea Caterers. There are basically two types of caterers to choose from when planning a wedding. Many catering concerns also maintain a set venue that they cater from, offering a good crosssection of site I and price options. I Then (there! are outcaterers who ‘cater anywhere, within reason, that a couple wishes to use as a reception venue. Both options offer a similar emphasis on quality of service and choice.
As the jstoryj of the 21 cakes illustrates caterers soon become'.! adept at adapting to differing requirements. j| !
