Your wedding cake is one of the few things at the celebration that everyone sees, photographs and tastes. It deserves a little planning. This guide covers the essentials of wedding cakes in Ghana: choosing tiers and size, how pricing works, when to order, and the lovely tradition of cutting the cake.

Choosing tiers and size

Wedding cakes are usually tiered, both for the look and to serve more guests. The right size depends on your guest count and how the cake fits into the day.

  • A single large cake can work beautifully for an intimate wedding.
  • A two or three tier cake suits most weddings, giving height for photos and plenty of servings.
  • For a large guest list, some couples pair a smaller display cake with extra sheet cakes served from the kitchen, so everyone gets a slice without an enormous tower.

Tell us your guest count and we will help you choose a combination that feeds everyone and looks stunning. For a sense of servings by size, our cake size guide is a useful start.

How wedding cakes are priced

Wedding cakes are quoted individually rather than from a fixed list, because tiers, size, flavour and design all vary so much. Pricing depends on:

  • The number of tiers and overall size.
  • The design and finish, from smooth buttercream to fresh florals, gold detailing or sugar work.
  • Flavours and fillings across the tiers.

Send us your vision and we will give you one clear quote, confirmed before anything is baked. You can see our general approach to custom cake ordering too.

When to order

A wedding cake needs more notice than an everyday cake. Order as early as you comfortably can so we can hold your date and plan the design properly. The earlier you talk to us, the more we can do, especially in busy wedding months.

The etiquette of cutting the cake

Cutting the cake is a highlight of the reception, and a few simple customs make it feel special:

  • The couple cut the first slice together, hands joined on the knife, usually from the bottom tier.
  • It is traditionally done after the meal, as a sweet close and a cue for dessert.
  • Couples often feed each other the first bite, a gesture of care and sharing.
  • Keep the moment for the photographer, it is one of the most-loved shots of the day.

After the ceremonial cut, the cake is taken away and sliced properly in the kitchen so every guest is served.
