Location and lighting are themost important considerations when deciding on an appropriate place to positionyour wedding cake. Present your cake in a prominent location that is easilyaccessible and has a pleasing background for photo opportunities. Consider areaslike: center stage in the ballroom, beside a sweeping staircase, framed infront of an artificial fireplace (mind the heat), or in an area witharchitectural beauty or natural light. Ensure that the ground is level and thatit is stable before positioning the cake. Never try to move a wedding cakealone, and if possible have your caterer or wedding planner do the moving foryou. Once positioned, try not to move it again.
