Tiered wedding cakes are most definitely on trend, and are likely to always be the most popular choice for weddings. These days, not only are individual cake tiers getting taller by the day, but quite often wedding cakes have at least 3 tiers – in fact, on social media it appears that the average number of tiers on a standard wedding cake is 4!
