Wedding Cake Cutting Guide

Then slice 1-in. pieces of cake. Now move in another 2-in. and slice again
until the entire tier is cut.
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 smaller top tier can be
cut into halves, 4ths, 6ths and 8ths depending on size.
To cut petal-shaped tiers, follow similar pattern as the round tiers diagram
