    I prefer a round cake, but a square cake looks cool with a modern theme.

    Round I don't like the flat square the edges seem less elegant than the curves.

    It's more pleasing to me to look at a round shape, so round cake it is!

    Round Because it's a classier cake shape, and also has no beginning or end, unlike the square. And when you get married you don't ever want it to end.

    I'm all for defying tradition where I can, so I'd go for square for that reason. Though thinking in terms of value for money, surely square cakes would give more pieces anyway?

    I really don't have a preference, if done right both are elegant.

    Round cake. Square cakes just don't look as elegant to me for some reason.

    Round cakes look more even to me, so I am inclined to go round.
