Each tier of cake is between 4” and 4.5” tall. The size of a slice of cake varies as each person cuts cake differently. We estimate a slice to be around 1” wide x 2” long x 4” tall.

If your topper has a base or 2-prongs, please ensure that it is no wider than 4.5in and weighs no more than 12oz. If your topper has a single prong, you will not want to go above 4” tall.

We encourage couples to serve all tiers of your cake on your wedding day. We provide a ‘Top Tier Voucher’ the week after your wedding for you to enjoy a fresh complimentary top tier within the month of your one-year anniversary! If you would like to take part in the tradition of freezing your original top tier; we can always accommodate that for you, by providing a top tier box with freezing instructions on request.

Couples often have their cake cutting ceremony immediately after they’re announced at the reception. Your reception site coordinator will guide you with this process.
Darker colors can be placed on your cake, but sparingly as these dark colors (black, navy blue, etc) can temporarily stain hands, mouth, teeth (and can even stain clothing). If you would like accents of these colors on your cake without a lot of tinted icing, we recommend looking at cake toppers, ribbons and flowers to add instead.
