So how is a wedding cake displayed at the Reception? To give you some idea of the choice of styles and what to look for before making that final decision I have listed a number of ideas to help you out.

The size and number of tiers chosen for a wedding cake depends on a variety of considerations.

• The number of guests attending the wedding reception
• Style of cake
• Shape
• Tradition and personal preference
• Is it a themed wedding?
• Reception surroundings may call for a particular style of cake.
