Displaying your cake
The TiersThe tiers of your wedding cake can be displayed in a variety of ways including three or more tiers, one on top of each other or set on solid or clear pillars. You can be creative when it comes to pillars and use champagne glasses filled with flowers. Some elaborate designs even include bridges or a real fountain! The Cake TopperMany brides are foregoing the plastic figurines of the bride and groom. Instead, a popular choice is fresh or silk flowers, candied flowers, sugared fruit, or frosting flowers. Try a cake top decorated like a gazebo - very charming! On the SideMost cakes are delicious enough to stand alone, but who can resist
a delicious raspberry sauce, fruit sorbet, or chocolate covered strawberries?
A nice touch is to place chocolate covered strawberries around the base
of the cake. One couple actually chose to feed each other a chocolate-covered
strawberry rather than the slice of cake. |

At some stage during the wedding day everyone's attention will be focussed
on your cake so make sure it is given a safe but prominent position
either on the top table or close by where it cannot be knocked into
by over exuberant guests and waiters. Also ensure that it does not obscure
the guests' view of the top table.
