If you want to add variety to your wedding cake, three-tier wedding cakes are the way to go. The tiers can be stacked on top of each other or set side by side and each tier can be different from the next. For example, one tier could be a traditional tiered cake with buttercream frosting in white, yellow and gold (the colors of royalty). Another tier could have alternating stripes of chocolate and vanilla frosting while the third tier could have roses made out of swiss meringue buttercream covering it completely.
You can also get creative with your choice of flavors if you like. For example, one layer may have chocolate cake covered in raspberry sauce while another has red velvet cake covered in salted caramel vanilla bean ice cream! The possibilities are endless!

3 Tier Red and Black Wedding Cake
Red and black wedding cakes are a fairly popular choice for brides and grooms who want to add some color to their wedding day. They are particularly suited to traditional weddings, as they can be paired with other muted colors or even with white if you have a very traditional theme.
The red and black theme is also very versatile, as it can be used on the cake’s icing, flowers and decorations. This means that you can go for a bolder look with red roses or opt for something slightly more subtle if you don’t want too much red in your bouquet or at centerpieces on the tables.
If you do decide to go all-out with this type of cake design then there are plenty of ideas available online that will help inspire you on what kind of icing should be used along with how many tiers should be present in order for everything to match up nicely using just these two colors alone!
3 Tier Cheesecake Wedding Cake
You don’t have to be a professional baker to make a wedding cake. If you want, you can buy a pre-made cake from the bakery or grocery store and serve it in slices at your reception. Or, if you have time on your hands and would like to create something special for your guests, here is a simple 3 tier cheesecake wedding cake recipe.
- 6 oz cream cheese

You will need: Cake pan (9-inch round), parchment paper (for lining the bottom of the pan), whisk or electric mixer with paddle attachment, rubber spatula or large knife
