Cake Cutting Guide: This guide shows how to cut round and square shaped wedding tiers into pieces approximately ¾ in. x 3 in. x 4 in. high. 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 cutting 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 three inches from the tier's outer edge; cut a circle and then slice ¾ in. pieces within the circle. Now move in another 3 in., cut another circle, slice ¾ 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.
Square Tiers:
Move in 3 in. from the outer edge and cut across. Then slice ¾ in. pieces of
cake. Now move in another 3 in. and slice again until the entire tier is
cut.
