3 or 4 smaller cakes

JennaMichelle88 · February 2013

I'm not sure why, but I really like the idea of 3 or 4 separate cakes (not sheet cakes) on different cake stands rather than one large cake. I've seen several pictures of them, so I know that this happens, just wondering if anyone here has done it. I would assume it would be about the same price as a regular tiered cake, but maybe not.

This is what we're doing and it is way cheaper at the bakery we're using. Like way way way cheaper. Less than half the price even!

I haven't done it as in purchased-from-a-bakery, but I did it for a wedding cake I baked for a girl at our church. It can be a beautiful look, and I imagine it could really save money, because you're ordering individual cakes rather than something tiered ... and you can get prices independent of the "w" word.

You can have different flavored tiers if you'd like. My cousin had two separate cakes at her wedding. One was carrot cake, the other chocolate I think.

</div><div>Yes, this. We didn't order them for a "wedding" but a party. And they are not fancy decorated, but the bakery we're using does white chocolate shavings around the sides of each cake which is gorgeous and yummy! I am doing a different cake topper for each, just something small, but something that is just "us". One will be a Dallas Cowboys one since fi is a fan, one is zombies since we love zombie movies, one is lovebirds since we have 11 pet birds, etc. They're all small and tastefull, but add somethign fun.</div><div>
