Elaborate, five-tier cakes are definitely a sight to behold but sometimes less is more. One-tier wedding cakes have slowly been rising in popularity as couples seek to make a more understated statement.

Another benefit of one-tier cakes is that they’re more affordable, allowing couples to save a bit of money. After the coronavirus pandemic, wedding budgets might be stretched as people recover financially. This cake is the perfect way to help.

One-tier cakes are anything but boring though! Have fun with texture, height, detail and dimension to create a cake with drama and personality. Here are some fun ideas:
