The standard cake stands are 16" across, comfortably fitting all standard cake styles and sizes. Most wedding venues have their own cake stand, although it will almost certainly be a very basic plastic cake stand covered to create the impression of a silver stand. They will suffice for most weddings, but if you can track down a silver plated stand they are worth the additional hire cost. Proper silver plated stands are available in a few of the more exclusive venues, or to hire from some cake suppliers. Although most couples cut their cake with a traditional cake knife, for a real flourish, particularly with dramatic cakes such as French croquembouche, hire a ceremonial sword. If you are having wedding cupcakes or individual wedding cakes, providing wedding cake boxes allows guests to take their cake home! Information provided by 'Fancy That!'Â Wedding Cakes
