• Shaped Wedding Cakes – Shaped wedding cakes have taken off over the past few years. In 2014 alone they seem like the design of choice for many wedding parties. Wedding cake tiers can be the same shape or each tier can be different. So it’s ok to have a square tier, then the next tier could be round and then the top tier could be octagonal. Having multiple shapes will take you from a traditional wedding cake look to a cake design that’s as unique as the couple.
