Trendy and Chic: Why Vertical Wedding Cakes Might Be Your Best Budget-Friendly Option!

A Classic of Overseas Weddings: "Tall Cakes" *

When you think of wedding cakes in Japan,

☑ Round three-tiered cakes

☑ Square cakes

I believe these are the most common shapes...

However, in overseas weddings, there is another "classic cake shape" that commonly appears in birthday cakes as well.

That is this: the "tall" shape wedding cake♡

The Advantages of Tall Cakes ♡

Tall wedding cakes have many great points ♡

① More cost-effective than three-tiered cakes

Three-tiered wedding cakes are mainstream, but they tend to be expensive due to their size. However, tall cakes are smaller and more compact than three-tiered cakes, leading to savings＊

② More glamorous than flat cakes ♡

Single-tier cakes are usually flat, but flat cakes can be less visually appealing from a distance. In contrast, tall cakes are easily visible from afar and photograph beautifully ◎

③ Ability to focus on decoration on the sides of the cake

The decoration part of a wedding cake is mostly on the top (flat part). However, tall cakes have a larger surface area on the sides, making it easier to decorate the sides in a cute way ♡ You can use gold leaf, drizzle chocolate sauce, and create decorations not possible with flat cakes.

④ Compact, perfect for after-parties

Tall cakes are compact and take up little space, making them ideal for after-parties, 1.5 parties, and family weddings＊ Being small means that after cutting the cake, it can be easily served as well ◎

⑤ Smooth design looks stylish ♡

Tall cakes have a smooth application of cream on the sides, making the flat design mainstream ♡

The modern, sleek shape looks undoubtedly stylish ♡

Here are some cute designs of tall cakes filled with charm ♡
