Slender cakes – they make a statement and are an architectural focal point at the wedding.

Cakes as centerpieces - they’re both beautiful and fun for the guests.  Have your baker make each cake a different flavor and/or design.  Guests will want to mingle and check out all the tables and, most likely, swap a bite with one of their friends!
