- Use a fake bottom tier made from polystyrene- otherwise known as a dummy cake- with the real cake as the top tiers. Each tier will be decorated identically, so nobody will be able to tell the difference.
- Bakery’s and supermarkets have wonderful ranges of already made cakes that can either be used as is or you can ask for the base and decorate the cake yourself - get the “girls” together and turn it into a fun night in.
- Stick to traditional cake shapes; round being the most traditional. Square, rectangle and other geometric shapes will be more expensive as they are more difficult to ice.
