Hello everyone. Hope everyone is doing good today.
I have a question for anyone who can help me. I have this wedding cake coming up tomorrow. My first actually. I am having an issue with the sizes I will use.
the brides cake topper is large, I will not be able to use a 6" top tier. I will instead use an 8" tier.
The cake the bride wants is somewhat offset, to get the offset effect, will it be okay if I went with an 8", 10", and 12" or 8" 10" and 14"...not sure if I'm explaining myself. Take a look a the picture below and see if you can tell me what sizes I will need to get the same effect.
Thanks in advance!

I would do the 8', 10' and 12 because I look at the cake as to how much space is on each tier unless you plan to decorate each tier then you might need more space.
Molly
Ah, ok.
Thanks Molly!
The cake is to look exactly like this. Minus the roses on top. Other than that, she wants the exact same cake.
Just frosting and ribbon. Should be easy.
I just got back from Michaels, and I was flipping through a wedding cake book. It looks as if they go 4" in between each tier.
i.e..8"12"and 16".
Would I be able to do this too? Or would it look funny?
TIA!

I think you would get too much of a gap in an 8 12 16. This cake here was a 6 10 14, and there is a LOT more gap in this than the cake you were asked for.

So the safest is to go for the 8 10 12, and you'll get the same distance in between cakes as you have in the picture, well at least very similar.

Thanks so much Nati! I will do that then, 8" 10" and 12".
If in doubt, it helps to stack up your cake tins the same way you'd set up your cakes, and see if you're happy with it.
: )
Nati
Thats what I would do stack your tins that will give you a great idea and then you would know for sure what your working with.
