Wedding cakes come in many shapes and sizes, giving you plenty of tasty options. For a traditional or contemporary wedding reception, the cake stands out as the delicious representation of the bride’s personality. The flavor of the cake may be largely a personal choice, but the shape of the cake should be as much about practicality as design. Form and function playing a large part, consider these popular shapes when choosing the wedding cake design of your dreams.
- Square wedding cakes have recently gained popularity and can be decorated to reflect a traditional or contemporary feel. Alternating corners of each tier is a simple way to add creativity while selecting a unique design for the icing definitely ups the appeal. Perhaps the easiest to cut, these cakes tend to feed more people than round wedding cakes.
- Fountain wedding cakes are tiered cakes that begin with the main tier on a pedestal surrounded by smaller tiers suspended on lower pedestals thus resembling a fountain. These tiered wedding cakes are especially popular for ease of cutting, unique design, and a decorative way to provide more cake for large weddings.
- Round wedding cakes are the most traditional but modern weddings also favor this design. Elegant wedding cakes are usually round with many layers of decoration and creative icing design. Round wedding cakes feed less people than the same sized square cake, but only marginally.
Whether tiers of wedding cake flow across the table or a simple wedding cake will do, consider this shapes and size information when visiting your local cake bakery.
