What if you’ve dreamt of having a gorgeous cake that would be one of the centrepieces of your day?
If you have, then here are some solutions that us as cake makers can offer you:
- Have a fake tier (or two) as the base and some smaller tiers on top.
A base tier can be made of polystyrene, coated in your chosen cake covering and decorated just as if it were a real cake. A talented cake maker will be able to do this so that no-one would be able to tell the difference. Be aware that this option will probably cost you much the same as a real cake of the same size. You wanted a semi-naked cake? Your cake maker should be able to created this effect for you too
- Have the same number of tiers, but shrink the size of each tier
There is a big difference in number of portions given by a 12, 9 and 6 inch three-tier cake. This will give you nearly a hundred portions. By changing that to a 9,7 and 5 inch, you will get 50 portions. (Based on each tier having 3 layers)
- Small is beautiful
A two or even a tall one tier cake can be made to look beautiful and elegant. Go with the flow and have a smaller cake. Exquisite finishes will make up for size, and give you the photographs and memories you need. A talented cake maker will be able to scale down decoration particularly if you have sugar flowers, and make you a cake to remember.
