    I want my cake to be short and sweet, basically I want a replica of the Royal wedding cake.

    One! Just a small cake for our smallish reception because dessert shots were already included but we wanted a 60's-inspired cake for a cutting ceremony.

    We are just having a small, one tier cake for us to cut, and then there will be sheet cakes cut for all of the guests. The design will look something like the picture below.

    I guess short/sweet. We're going with 3 tiers, based on our bakers recommendation.

    We will have a 4 tier cake, the top layer being ours to take home and 2 sheet cakes. Saving so much money with sheet cakes if anyone is on the fence about them! The last baker I contacted brought that up while all the others I contacted told me I needed this massive $2,000 cake. I don't think so!

    3 Tiers!! I am so excited because I spent months doing tastings & was so frustrated that no one could fulfill my expectations on what I wanted until my very last draw before going with Publix to order a simple cake (even though Publix cakes are so good too). But I had found a Fabulous Baker that is making me exactly what I wanted & her cakes are absolutely to die for!! Everyone one of her flavors were perfect! Her cakes are moist, not overly sweet but rich in flavor. It was so hard for us to choose which flavor but we just decided on a Special Customer flavor I was dreaming with. The Bonus of it ALL is she's making Our 1st anniversary cake (which is the top tier) for FREE!! She is truly the BEST! I'm not even a sweets person, I can't believe how excited I am about Our Cake! lol

    My youngest daughter is having a 5-tier cake! I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I am about it - the best part is that it is included in her venue and the bakery does amazing work!!

    We had a small one tier cutting cake, two sheet cakes and cupcakes. It was more cost effective and we had cake for 150 people for about $60
