The Great Cake Bake

That made me smile, , , why is your OH so set on a square cake

Profiteroles ?

If I was going for a traditional cake, I would probably go for a round one. The square ones look quite good if the middle tier is angled as a diamond....

Will be sticking with the profiteroles I think though. ?

i have no idea! His wedding demands are getting so rediculous that even I am laughing now!

Pure Groomzilla syndrome

We absolutly love profiteroles! Will a normal wedding cake supplier do a profiterol tower - and what do they end up looking like? (eg- can they be decorated?)

Oh my, a profiterole tower covered in white chocolate! Genius!

A croqembouche?

Woweee - that looks amazing and ££££££££££££££ expensive!

One that size would be - but it doesn't hurt to try and get a quote from local patissiers/bakers

They are just amazing aren't they. I love profiteroles and thought one of these would be a great option to try and serve 150+ guests. 1 each for them and the rest for me ?

I had a croquembouche and it was awesome, nowhere near as big as the one in the pic tho as it was only for 17 people and it doubled up as desert with dark chocolate sauce and fresh berries nomnomnom!

Back to the OP I think round too, dont know why just not a big fan of square, i am making my sisters cake and am doing a round 3 tier cake whoch will hopefully look lovely!?!

I'm firmly in the square camp - but only with really sharp edges.

OH doesn't give a toss as long as it's not fruit.

I haven't sorted the cake yet but I imagine we'll be going with a 4 tier, square lemon cake. We have 140 day guests so need an extra tier.

I am making a friends wedding cake next year and shes requested round, however i suggested designs which now i look at it, they were all square!! I have no preference, at least i didnt think i did!

Mr F is totally in charge of the cake so knowing him wel have a racing car/animal/computer game character (delete where applicable) shaped cake!!!!!!

We're having a 3 tier round cake, I'm not keen on the square ones but I couldn't give you a reason why! Just personal preference I guess!

I like round cakes , but with a good height tier.

We haven't decided on ours yet but their are so many fantastic alternatives, macaroon tower, the profiteroles, and a tower of lemon meringue pies was a fab idea off that show.

I think a tower of cupcakes are great, with a cutting cake on top, you could request a square stand ?

I love profiteroles!

We're having cupcakes but with a round double height cutting cake so I vote round!

I thought ours would be hexagonal, but i think it's now square at offset angles. It's going to look awesome - OH is in charge of the decorations. We want them to match his buttonholes.
