Wedding Cake Tiers

 

One Tier Wedding Cakes

A one-tier wedding cake is a perfect choice for small, intimate weddings, or for couples who prefer simplicity. It can be elegantly decorated to match the wedding theme or to reflect the couple's personality and taste. Despite its size, a single-tier cake doesn't limit creativity in terms of design or flavour. 

Plus, it can be used as a centrepiece during the wedding ceremony and then served to the couple and close family members. They're often used in budget-conscious weddings as they require less labour and materials compared to their multi-tiered counterparts.

Two-Tier Wedding Cakes

Two-tier wedding cakes add a bit more sophistication and allow for more design versatility. They are a suitable choice for medium-sized weddings, providing a balance between aesthetics and practicality. Each tier can be a different flavour, giving guests more variety to enjoy. 

The larger surface area also allows for more intricate designs or personalisation. While it has a larger visual impact than a one-tier cake, it's still relatively easy to transport and set up compared to larger multi-tier cakes.

Three-Tier Wedding Cakes

A three-tier wedding cake is the classic choice for larger, traditional weddings. This style of cake creates a stunning visual impact and offers ample space for decoration and personalisation. Each tier can be a different flavour, offering even more variety for guests. 

Additionally, it's common for couples to save the top tier for their first anniversary, allowing them to relive a bit of their special day a year later. They require more planning for transportation and assembly, but the aesthetic and symbolic benefits often outweigh these considerations.

Wedding Cake Designs and Ideas

Choosing your wedding cake is an exciting opportunity to express your personal taste and style. This not only involves selecting the flavour, but also deciding on the design that best aligns with your wedding theme. Here are a few styles to help inspire your selection:

  • Classic Elegance: An evergreen choice, this style usually incorporates a traditional multi-tier cake with white icing. Think delicate sugar flowers, lace detailing, and perhaps pearls. This style embodies the timeless beauty of wedding traditions.
  • Modern Chic: A chic, modern wedding cake often embraces clean lines, geometric patterns, and unique colour combinations. If you love contemporary aesthetics and want your wedding cake to make a bold statement, this style is definitely worth considering.
  • Rustic Charm: Ideal for countryside or garden weddings, rustic-themed cakes incorporate natural elements such as fresh flowers, fruits, and edible greenery. The design exudes a warm, down-to-earth feel, fitting perfectly with an outdoor setting.
  • Themed Cakes: If you're looking to infuse a personal touch or narrative into your wedding cake, consider opting for a theme that resonates with your unique story. It could be a fairy-tale concept, a sports-themed design, or even a nod to your favourite movie or book. The possibilities are limitless!
  • Bespoke Designs: If none of the existing styles tickle your fancy, consider a completely customised design. Work closely with our cake designers to create a one-of-a-kind piece that represents your unique love story and style.

FAQs

Can you freeze a wedding cake?

Yes you can freeze a wedding cake. Many couples choose to freeze the top tier of their wedding cake to enjoy on their first anniversary. To do this, remove any decorations, then wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap, followed by a layer of aluminium foil. This double layering helps to prevent freezer burn. Store it in a cake box, if possible, to protect it from any accidental damage.

 

When do you cut the cake at a wedding?

The cake cutting ceremony traditionally occurs towards the end of the reception meal, before the dancing and partying begins. It's considered one of the first tasks the newlywed couple undertake together, symbolising their shared future. However, the exact timing can vary based on personal preferences and the flow of your wedding reception.

 

How long does wedding cake last?

If your wedding cake is stored properly in an airtight container at room temperature, it can last for up to 1 day after the ceremony. If you refrigerate it, you can extend that to about a 2-3 days. However, for longer preservation, such as saving the top tier for your first anniversary, freezing is recommended.

How to cut a wedding cake?

Cutting a wedding cake depends on its size and shape, but here's a general approach for round cakes: Cut a circle about two inches in from the cake's outer edge, then slice pieces one to two inches wide within that circle. Continue this process, moving inward. For square cakes, cut straight lines two inches apart, then cut slices one to two inches wide from those lines.
 

How much cake do I need for a wedding?

The amount of cake you'll need for your wedding depends on the number of guests. As a general rule, a one-tier cake can serve 10-14 people, two-tier cake can serve 22-25 people. However, these numbers can vary based on the actual size of the tiers and how the cake is cut.

 

How much does a wedding cake cost?

The cost of a wedding cake can vary widely based on size, design, ingredients, and regional pricing norms. A basic wedding cake could start from around £40-160, there may be more additional charges based on how elaborate your design is or if you have more then two tiers.
