Wedding Cakes: a quick word...The Wedding cake is a big part of the pomp and circumstance today, as in the past, but today's cakes are becoming less "traditional" and should reflect the couple's unique style. The photos shown are just examples of how the cakes can be placed, as well as to showcase some of the ones I have made in the past. This is not a complete listing, of course, but shows three main styles: column, stacked, and cascade.
