Over the past years we’ve had quite a number of customers that have used the term LAYERED & TIERED interchangeably. However, we’d like to differentiate between the two:

​

Layered Cake

A layered cake is a cake made up of multiple stack sheets of cake with identical size. It can be a stack of 2 layers, stack of 3 layers and so forth. These stacked layers of cake are held together between a layer of filling or frosting.

​

Tiered Cake

A tiered cake consists of multiple layered cakes of different sizes stacked on top of each other. Tiered cakes can be as high as 2-3 tiers or more depending on the type of structure to hold them all in place. Tiered cakes are traditionally common in weddings but are now also common with theme birthday cakes.
