Remove the top layer and place it in the box provided for the bride & groom to keep. If it is stacked directly on top of the cake below you will need to insert a spatula under the top layer and gently lift up and off.

Make a circular cut two inches in from the border on one of the cakes.

From this donut shape cut one inch slices. A slice of wedding cake is one inch wide, two inches deep and four inches tall; about the same size as half of a sandwich.

Repeat the circular cut and 1 inch slices with the remaining cake. Remember, if any cake is left over, it is easier to take home small cakes than parts of large ones, so if possible cut the larger cakes first.

Six inch layers should be cut in 1/12ths, like a clock.
