Wedding Cakes - 1 x 2 in. Slices
|
| This guide shows how to cut popular shaped wedding tiers into pieces
approximately 1 in. x 2 in. by two layers high (about 4 in.). Even if a larger
serving size is desired, the order of cutting is still the same. The first
step in cutting is to remove the top tier, and then begin the cutting with the
2nd tier followed by the 3rd, 4th and so on. The top tier is usually saved for
the first anniversary, so it is not calculated into the serving amount. |

| Round Tiers: |
| Move in two inches from the tier's outer edge; cut a circle and
then slice 1 in. pieces within the circle. Now move in another 2 in., cut
another circle, slice 1 in. pieces and so on until the tier is completely cut.
The center core of each tier and the small top tier can be cut into 3rds,
4ths, and 6ths, depending on size. |
