Asides from being more affordable, with the one tiered cake option, couples can choose to have just one flavourful cake, or multiple cakes of different tastes and designs, just not stacked on top of each other. The cakes can be lined up in a simple and yet beautiful display that shows off each unique creation. The one tier option is also a sneaky, albeit smart way of avoiding any wedding cakes disasters.
2. Rectangular Cakes
