This chart shows how to cut popular shaped wedding tiers into pieces aproximately 1 in. x 2 in. by two layers high
(about 4 in.). Even if you prefer a larger serving size, 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 figured into the serving amount.
To cut 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 halves, 4ths, 6ths, and 8ths, depending on size.
Cut petal-shaped tiers similar to round tiers as diagram shows.
Cut hexagon tiers similar to round tiers.
To cut heart-shaped tiers, divide the tiers vertically into halves, quarters, sixths or eighths. Within rows, slice
one inch pieces of cake.
To cut square tiers, move in 2 in. from the outer edge and cut across. Then slice another 2 in. and slice again until
the entire tier is cut.
To cut oval tiers, move in 2 in. form the outer edge and cut across. Then slice 2 in. pieces of cake. Now
move in another 2 in. and slice again until the entire tier is cut.
