Start by removing all of the flowers and set them aside. Then, take the top cake tier off of the bottom tier and place it in front of you. PRO TIP: Keep your cake cutting knife warm by warming it up with a glass of warm water. Your cake will cut a lot easier if the knife is hot. Slice the front of the cake about 1” thick. Let the slice fall onto a plate or cutting board. Cut into 2” Thick pieces. Watch my video on how to cut a wedding cake.
