Food historians have several theories about why cakes are round. A round cake as we know it today, has descended from ancient bread. Ancient breads were made and moulded by hand and relaxed into rounded shapes. The most common theory is that a round cake has drawn on inspiration from a round type of bread many centuries ago. Bakers previously used paper moulds for their cakes. Presumably they were favoured over using tin moulds as they would not rust. What is a layer cake?

There are other ways to cut event and wedding size servings, but I've found this is the easiest way to get consistent size slices. Plus you don't need any special tools like cutting boards or rulers.

Now you know how to cut Event-Style and Wedding size servings, but what if you want larger slices for your guests? Choose one of the options below based on your type and size of event: For 10" or larger cakes, follow the instructions above and go 2 inches in and cut a half-circle, then cut slices from the outer edge. But instead of cutting one inch slices out of the outer edge, cut 1 ½-inch slices for Standard-Size Servings, and 2-inch slices for Generous Servings. If you don’t want to serve all your cake on the same day, half of the entire cake can be refrigerated for 4-5 days in an airtight container or frozen for 3-4 months.

Event-Style Servings or Wedding-Size servings are approximately 4” tall by 2” by 1” slices. Some people call these “party slices.” This smaller slice is still a nice size serving after a meal or finger food. This is the serving size I always recommend for weddings. For taller tiered cakes, it's best to remove the top tiers and cut them on the table. Larger Cake Slice Options There should be a cake board or cake platter under each cake, which will tell you when to stop your knife. After you've cut that cake, you may remove the cake board and start on the next tier.
