Should you wish to have a larger amount of cake, it is
possible to make an extra tier, which is not displayed, but is cut and
served by the catering staff, to add to the wedding cake. This is
particularly useful if you expect to have an unusually large number of
guests but would prefer not to have an unusually large cake! This extra tier
may be made of Rich Fruit or Victoria Sponge, to suit your choice. Another
factor that may affect your choice is how you imagine your finished cake to
look. For instance, if you are holding a small reception, perhaps for 20 or
30 guests, then a single 8 inch round cake will provide you with sufficient
portions, but may not match the image of your wedding cake that you had in
mind. Often a combination of these two factors will play a part
in your final decision.
Shape Options
A wide variety of shapes can be used,
including hexagonal, heart and petal shapes as well as the traditional round
or square cakes. Don't feel you have to choose a square cake simply because
it will be easier to cut. Your caterers will be well experienced in cutting
any shape of cake efficiently for you. However, remember that a heart or
petal shape will give you fewer portions than an equivalent sized, square
cake. |
