How do you cut a wedding cake for the ceremonial piece? They do not want to save the top layer for their anniversary. Do they cut the top first or the bottom? Its a four layered stacked cake.

I mostly see them cut a small piece out of the bottom layer, but it is my understanding that they can cut any place they choose.

especially if it's a multi-flavored cake. I ask them which flavor they want and then get them set up on that tier.

Thanks, but I think I just figured it out. The bow is going to be on the top, so wouldn't they want to cut on the bottom so they won't have to take the bow off?

I looked on a wedding site and they aslo said that they start the cut from the bottom. After the first cutting, sometimes, they take the layers apart to continue serving.

I hope this is right.
