I so wish we could do separate, that is such a gorgeous way to display a cake. But we're doing stacked.

Stacked would be my choice, but the separates don't look that bad! The separates would be great for a modern wedding

Definitely stacked. It is more fluid and separated seems too ominous to me.

Would originally think stacked, but recently went to a wedding with separate and I loved it! It was a cake to represent each of the bride and grooms children as they combined families. ❤️

Stacked looks more like a wedding cake. Separate for other events.

Do you think you would consider getting a cake with separated tiers for your wedding cake? 😊

Stacked for sure. This picture of separated cakes looks cool, however, I would not choose to do that at my wedding.
