Ooops, missed your edit. Thanks for adding. I wasn't concerned you hadn't tested yet. There was the more important issue of immortal sims at that time, so your time was better spent on that problem, imho.
Update on banquet table(s). I made plural because I realized there was a second table in the LP stuff pack, Banquetia Plateau. I tried with this table as well and had the same results as with the Fancy Feast table.
I just held another wedding and experimented with using the serve food option before putting the wedding cake on the table's top tier. I was using the Banquetia Plateau table for this wedding. I was able to place the cake, add the wedding topper after using serve food and the sim was able to cut the cake okay, no route failure. Just works in reverse as to how I used to serve food after cutting the cake at weddings. At least it's doable.
The one thing I did notice, though, is that the banquet tables just don't seem to work correctly, at least in a wedding event at the park. I guess sims just magically get the food from the banquet table during the event because the counter for the wedding task of "eat food by 4 sims" increased and completed that task but no sim other than my controlled sim actually went to the table and got food. Most odd to watch that counter increase while looking at a table with no sims near it. Somehow I doubt this was intended, lol.
