I wish I would have found your blog and these posts when I was trying to figure out my wedding cake. I would have loved to give our baker a recipe and have her go from there. I’m pretty sure her’s are just box mixes, but the decorations are pretty

I have seen the paisley cakes and really thought about that shape for our wedding cake, because I love paisley designs. Didn’t think the baker would have a paisley pan though.. and it didn’t really fit our “theme”.

I was in the planning and test baking stages of an off-set square wedding cake for a friend of mine when discovered there’s a bit of math involved in this stacking pattern. Because the diagonal of the square is longer than the sides, you need to make sure that your diagonal will be no bigger (and preferably a little smaller) than the length of the side of the tier below it. For a cake where the squares will be stacked at 90 degrees to each other, if you have a 15″ square base, your next tier up shouldn’t be much larger than 10″ or it won’t fit right, followed by 7″ then 5″ for the first anniversary cake for the couple.

I would suggest figuring this out *before* you purchase any cake pans you will use for this. Please, learn from my mistake
