She Was Heartbroken When The Restaurant She Had Her Wedding Reception At Served Her Wedding Cake To Someone Else And She Had To Watch Them Cut It In Front of Her
Wedding cakes are a fun tradition that some people are very passionate about. Even if you’re not a huge cake person, cutting your wedding cake with your new spouse is a sweet moment, and it’s often one that guests look forward to.
One bride’s family put in a lot of effort when choosing the cake she wanted to eat at her intimate restaurant reception. She was heartbroken when the restaurant ended up serving the cake to a different party before she was even seated.
“I don’t even know how to explain this,” says Celeste Geren (@celestegaren0203) in the TikTok video she filmed right after the incident.
“The restaurant we were at for our wedding dinner gave our wedding cake to somebody else, and I literally watched them cut it in front of me,” she said.
Celeste and her new husband live in Arizona but had a small wedding ceremony with 11 guests in Washington. It was a sort of destination wedding, and they had their immediate family members with them.
Her mother-in-law helped Celeste and her husband arrange everything for their wedding day, including helping them select a cake from a local Washington bakery and reserving special seats at a restaurant where they would have a fun family dinner after the ceremony.
Celeste’s mother-in-law shipped her and her husband cake samples to try overnight, and even though her husband doesn’t particularly like cake, they both fell in love with the raspberry vanilla-flavored cake and picked it out.
The cake was beautifully decorated and topped with flowers coordinated with Celeste’s bridal bouquet. She and her husband were hyping the cake up to their entire family and were so excited to eat it on their special day.
The morning of her wedding, Celeste and her mother-in-law dropped the cake off at the restaurant where she’d be having her reception and labeled the box with their last name.

Their ceremony was beautiful, but things started going awry when they got to the restaurant. First, the restaurant had trouble finding their reservation and gave Celeste and her mother-in-law grief when they reminded them they wanted outdoor seating.
While waiting for the restaurant staff to frantically throw together some tables for them, she noticed the restaurant staff cutting a cake for a table at the front of the restaurant that looked a lot like her wedding cake. Only, she wasn’t sure it was her cake at the moment, as the flowers weren’t on top of it.
But when her wedding party had finally finished dinner, and it was time for the cake, their waitress came out with a cake labeled for a woman named Jackie. The waitress began crying, and Celeste realized the cake she had seen being cut for another group was indeed her cake.
As it turned out, the restaurant was also serving a surprise birthday party that night, and that group had also brought in a cake for their celebration.
The birthday girl, Jackie, who contacted Celeste after her video on TikTok went viral, had no idea what her cake would look like since the party was a surprise. So when the restaurant brought out Celeste’s cake, she didn’t think twice.
Although Celeste remembers it being a “devastating” moment, she described her family as good sports, and they managed to still have a beautiful evening.
The restaurant asked for the cost of the cake and subtracted that cost from their bill. They also gave Celeste and her husband the other party’s cake to take home, although she said it was disgusting.
But now, Celeste and her husband are doing their best to shake off this debacle. They’ve decided that they will try to return to that Washington bakery every year for their anniversary and eat their dream wedding cake. Hopefully, the cake they order will go to them and them only next time!
