Small 2 Tier Wedding Cake

A two-tier wedding cake is a fantastic centerpiece for any celebration. However, two tiers don’t have to mean big and ostentatious. Small 2 tier wedding cakes are perfect for smaller weddings and couples who want to save money. With our quick and easy tips below, you can make a small 2 tier cake that stands out from the crowd:

  • Pick your flavors wisely. When it comes down to it, the number one factor in determining how small your cake will be is flavor choice. We recommend choosing two flavor combinations that complement each other rather than clash—that way they can both shine on their own while still being paired together effectively as well!
  • Skip the frosting lines between tiers if possible (if not using fondant). While this might seem counterintuitive at first glance, having less frosting between layers means less height overall—and more space for all those gorgeous flowers you’ve been dying to incorporate into your design!

2 Tier Rustic

The rustic wedding cake is a perfect choice for those who prefer an earthier, natural look to their wedding day. It can be made with or without frosting and features a variety of fruit and flowers baked into the top tier.

Some popular toppings include:

  • Berries (strawberries, blueberries or blackberries)
  • Chocolate chips
  • Almonds

Toppers are also an important part of your rustic wedding cake design. You might consider using things like acorns, sunflowers or pinecones as decorations on top of your cake—or even mini pumpkins if you’re getting married during Halloween season!

Red and White

You can make your two tiered wedding cake red and white by using a combination of these elements:

  • White frosting to cover the cake

  • Red ribbon around the bottom tier, middle tier and top tier of your 2 tiered wedding cake. (This will be used as a decorative element)

Simple 2 Tier Buttercream Wedding Cakes

  • Choose your favorite buttercream icing recipe.
  • If working with fondant (or other edible sugar cookie dough), you’ll need to roll it out and let it dry completely before starting on the cake.
  • You’ll begin by placing a layer of fondant over the first tier of your 2 tier wedding cake, then simply place the second tier on top. This will make a total of 3 layers, which is plenty!
  • Now that both tiers are stacked, you can go ahead and decorate them however you like! Decorating options include ribbon accents or flowers; it’s easy to personalize this simple design with whatever suits your style best!

2 Tier Burgundy Wedding Cakes

Burgundy is a popular choice for wedding cake colors. It’s the perfect color for fall weddings and winter weddings, but it also works well with any season.

Burgundy cakes look great with other colors, like white or ivory, blues and greens, oranges and reds. You can truly go wild with your flower choices when you have a burgundy backdrop!

The rich tone of this shade makes it perfect for formal events; however if you’re looking to add more drama to your celebration then try adding some gold accents here and there (such as using gold trim around the edges of your cake).

2 Tier Silver

  • Use silver icing for the top tier of your wedding cake. It’s a great way to add a little extra glamour and sparkle to your celebration.
  • Decorate with silver flowers and ribbons as well—they’re also available in many colors, so you can choose whichever suits your theme best!
  • If you have time, consider having an edible image printed on top of the cake using edible ink (the same kind used by printers). These images come in many different styles and designs, like hearts or stars, which are perfect for special occasions like weddings!
  • If you plan on cutting into this layer of cake during your reception then keep in mind that it will get messy if there’s too much icing between layers; however if you don’t cut into it then there won’t be any problems at all!

2 Tier Wedding Cake with Cupcakes

Cupcakes are a great way to have a variety of flavors at your wedding. They are also a beautiful addition to any wedding cake as they look just as good and can be decorated with fondant, buttercream, or other frosting on top. You can also use cupcakes for other events such as baby showers and bridal showers!

Cupcakes are perfect for weddings because you can offer different flavors that people might like better than the traditional cake options. For example, if someone doesn’t like chocolate then they could get strawberry instead! They’re also smaller so you can offer guests more variety without getting too much cake on their plate (or in their stomachs).

Buttercream frosting is used when making cupcakes because it sticks better than other kinds of frosting but if you prefer something less sweet try using cream cheese instead! If you want even more variety consider using dark chocolate shavings instead of sugar sprinkles which adds an extra crunchy texture without being too sweet on its own but also tastes delicious when eaten with ice cream while watching Netflix binges afterwards after getting home from work at night before going back up again tomorrow morning…
