    I feel like I prefer round MOST of the time, but our cake just ended up being square. It's super pretty, and just fits our reception venue with the tile and checkered floor. Smiley smile (But honestly, I like round better.Smiley heart)

    Love the look of that square one, but ours is round.

    Round. Square looks good and modern but round is just more elegant and traditional.

    Partial to round. Square is too contemporary for my taste.

    One layer will be vegan red velvet (my favorite) and the other layer will be angel food cake (my FH's favorite)!
