A guide to cake shapes

Round

The look: traditional. Best for: any type of wedding.

Square

The look: modern. Tiers can be set at different angles for a sleeker style. Best for: any type of wedding.

Hexagonal

The look: hip. With six sides to every tier, the shape is so striking you won't need intricate decorations. Best for: trendy, urban weddings.

Scalloped

The look: casual. The sides of each layer have scalloped edges like a flower petal. Best for: laid-back, outdoor affairs.

Topsy-turvy

The look: dramatic, architectural. Each tier is a different shape to give the cake a whimsical or sleek, off-kilter appearance. Best for: offbeat affairs.

Molded

The look: casual. Cakes are shaped to match a theme or hobby, such as a castle, football, waterfall, or motorcycle. Best for: groom's cakes.
