Wedding Cake dilemma

Can pictures not be taken at the reception? Personally I would have it delivered to the venue in which it's going to be served and have the cake cutting photos there which I guess would be your second venue. I can see it would be a nightmare to transport it, set it up to take it apart again, transport it and set it up again

Usually the cake is only seen at the reception location. It's not moved about on the day.

Do you have two different reception locations? Eg one for the meal then another for the evening do? I'm trying to figure out why the cake needs to move?

Also, I'd advise caution re a 4 tier cake like that if your mum is not an experienced cake builder. That cake needs internal supports and if they are not done correctly it could collapse.

A simpler, less risky option would be to hire a 3 tier cake stand and make 3 cakes, one for each tier. That way, the cake is a munch simpler construction and the stand bears each tier instead of the cake requiring internal supports.

Yeah we have our daytime at one venue, then a 20 minute travel back nearer home for the evening venue.

My mum makes cakes and is quite experienced with them. Shes just finished doing my brothers that was on Saturday and the cake was amazing.

The cake would have internal supports in it as it stands quite high, so she knows all that, just not sure if i really need the cake then at the daytime if it is usually cut and seen by everyone at the night time. Probably one less thing to think about if its just at night time :-)

I've always just seen cakes at the night time where you have the 'cake cutting' where there's photos of it taken and then it's served with the buffet, I wouldn't bother having it during the day to be honest.

Lovely cake!!

Wow That cake is stunning!

I'd suggest have the cake in the evening when it is going to be cut and served - less stress all round then!
