I love the ones that are sweet -- properly feeding each other, and then maybe doing a dollop of icing on your new spouse's nose before kissing/eating it off! 
I seoncd the "sweet smash" with a sweet kiss at the end.
I've never seen anything too awful (and we're avoiding this at our own wedding be avoiding a cake!)
I was at a family members wedding while doing the cake 'feeding' the grooms intoxicate brother came up and took the brides head and smashed it right into the cake! I would have ben livid, but she just smiled and laughed
I told my fiance there better not be any cake smashed into my face because of how much I am spending to upkeep my makeup throughout the day ha ha!

Oh, gawd! That bride (full face in cake) is a good sport. I would have seriously caused a scene.

I would have had the intoxicated relative escorted out!
There shall hereforto, be no cake smasheth'd on thine face! I am alas, a non-smashite. (can you tell I love seinfeld?)
I told my husband he had better not smash the cupcake in my face...but I think it was more of a challenage to him.
He shoved that cupcake in my face and twisted at my nose, causing a nose FULL of icing. Yep, then the photographer jumped in and started taking lots of photos!
and yep, I did get him back with the cupcake I was holding!
Heh, my fiance and I plan on doing a bit of cake face smashing. Hopefully not a face FULL of cake and I told him not to get it on my dress, but we'll see what unfolds :p
I know my FI, therefore I will be wearing a lobster bib. Blue icing seems to stain my teeth let alone my wedding dress. It's all part of the fun!
I've seen some really uncomfortable cake smashings, and my Fi agrees that we won't be doing it. I've been to two weddings where the groom just took it too far, and made the bride cry. 
I DO NOT want that to happen at my wedding, and my Fi doesn't want to make me cry, so we'll just feed each other like civilized adults. I think the sweet ones are always the best anyway!

Bruschetta & LatteLove - That's what I'm hoping for!
I can't imagine a full face smash, that would be terrible. My family has a history of smearing icing on one another's faces during birthdays, but they wouldn't do anything like that at the wedding.
As much fun as being sweet would be, I doubt that will happen at my wedding and I will get a face full of cake. FI told me I should bring a bib. *ominous music & evil laughter*
The best cake feeding/smashing I've ever seen was actually when the groom inintentionally dropped the cake down the bride's dress. I have no idea if he had intended to smash it or not, but the whole reception was almost in tears as she attempted to dig cake and icing out of her cleavage. I think you ladies planning to wear bibs have got the right idea...

I was a bridesmaid in a wedding in Feb. During the cake cutting, the bride and groom both took HUGE pieces to feed each other so we know that they were going to shove it in each others faces.
As the were leaning in to feed eachother, then they turn around and shoved the cake in the maid of honor and best mans faces. I didn't get a picture but it was pretty cool
OMG, can I just say that I would be mortified if my husband dropped cake down my dress. I think I would be so mad that he would have to spend our honeymoon alone!
I may be in the minority, but I actually HATE the smashing of the cake tradition. I've never been one for messes (my mom says that I didn't want to eat my first birthday cake with my hands) and I just never understand why people would get cake everywhere--especially when you're spending so much money on hair, makeup and dress! No Thanks! Honestly, I don't really even want to feed him the cake, we may just cut it together and each take our own bites with a fork!

My FI and I had a serious talk about this...we don't understand why people do it, and we won't be doing it either! Why does someone want to UPSET their newlywed?? As far as the MOH/BM...I tell you if I was the MOH, that bride's face would be ear deep in that cake!!! And I wouldn't let her come up for air! (Now, if I was the bride who'd gotten ear deep in cake, that intoxicated guest would have learned what .45 cal protection rounds are...) I'm violent for being anti-smash, aren't I? It's a day to celebrate and look pretty, not a day for ugly cry with cake up your nose!
I'm personally horrified by the whole act, no matter how common it is.
I was in a wedding once where they hadn't talked about it before, so neither were sure what the other would do. Bride thought groom was going towards smashing, reacted, smashed cake in groom's face. Groom of course got payback, leading to me consoling bride in bathroom for half an hour. Horrible.
The whole cake-feeding tradition is rooted in some really ancient cultures (there's a lot of different explanations) but in the most basic sense, isn't it your first act of nourishing one another as a married couple? Cutting the cake is supposed to symbolize your first task as a team, right?
So I just don't understand why you would want to do it.
I will be making sure there are FORKS to use. I'd rather sway from tradition of using our hands than risk having the hubby ruin me.
I know this thread is a bit old, but this is a topic I'm really curious about. I'm new to WeddingBee, been lurking for a month or two since my bf and I seriously started discussing marriage. Until I found this site I never heard of people being so passionately anti-cake smash. I'm not looking to start a war here but I honestly just don't get it. I mean I get being against the extreme, I read a post about a broken nose and thats just ridiculous. I get that everyone has their own things but I almost feel a bit offended because I want to do the cake smash. Some posts seem to imply that by doing so I'm not expressing my love for my future husband or starting the marriage off wrong. I guess I just never took the whole thing so seriously. We're a very playful couple and doing this was never even a question. Then again it wouldn't be the first time we've smashed food in each others faces and certainly won't be the last. I grew up in a house where we had the occasional food fight so I guess I've never had a completely normal relationship with food! As far as the hair/makeup issue... my thinking is at this point you've had the ceremony, done the family/bridal party pics, the reception is the time to relax and just let loose and have fun. The cake cutting is usually towards the very end so to me I care way more about having fun(and yes to me it is fun) than I care about how I look.
I feel the cake smash is a very "us" thing to do, but I know its not for everyone.
So what I'd like to know is, am I alone here? are there any PRO-smash brides out there??
and for the ANTI-smash brides, please share why.
I was just about to hit submit and I had this image of a mob of angry brides running after me holding pitchforks with cake on them, hopefully thats not the response I get :)
I don't know... I like the "sweet smash" just a little but if I got frosting all over the place I'd be annoyed.
As far as smashing to MOH and BM faces... I just feel like thats a food fight waiting to happen. lol
If its "you" and you and your groom agree to do a smash, then by all means go for it!
I have threatened my FI with no newlywed loving if he smashes the cake. After spending so much time finding the perfect dress and make up, not to mention all the money involved, I would be terribly upset to have my dress or face covered in icing and cake. I read some article where grooms that smash the cake are more likely to divorce. Ofcourse, I am probably more prissy so I am not one to judge, If it works for you, and you BOTH are ok with it then go for it.
I don't want to smash eachother with cake on our wedding day.
So for our engagement pictures I tricked him into getting cupcakes with me and eating them and feeding eachother on a park bench.
And then I shoved my cupcake in his face. Pretty hard. The photog got a shot of his head going back.
Bless his kind heart, he asked permission to shove his in mine, and I let him.
Hopefully that got it out of both our systems.
One word: Divorce.
Haha okay, maybe not, but there would be hell to pay! He will have wished he hadn't married me if he smashes cake in my face & *GASP* if it gets in my hair, well I'm pretty sure I'd faint.
lol can you tell I'm dramatic much?
I know he's going to do it, but I really don't want him to! Maybe he's just teasing...

Sorry, there are no users yet.
So, I'm hoping I've convinced my FI that it is not a good idea to smash cake in my face!! I am pretty sure that he won't.
One of my other BM's suggested something to me that her mom and dad did at their wedding and I thought it was hilarious and wondering if anyone had seen it done before. When her parents went to feed one another cake, instead of smashing it in one another's faces, they turned around and hit the MOH and Best Man. I'm not sure if my sister/his brother will be mad or find it funny.
What's the best cake feeding/smashing you've seen at a wedding? Anything different or funny?
