Square vs Round Cakes: Choosing the Perfect Shape for Your Event

When planning a celebration, the choice of cake is one of the most exciting parts. But before you pick flavours and colours, there's another key decision to make: what shape should your cake be?

Based in East London, we deliver freshly baked cakes across Romford, Ilford, Barking, Dagenham, East Ham, Stratford, Walthamstow, Chigwell, Woodford, Hainault, Forest Gate, Manor Park, Seven Kings, Goodmayes, and surrounding areas.

Round Cakes – A Timeless Classic

Round cakes are the most traditional choice and are often associated with weddings, birthdays, and anniversaries. Their smooth, circular shape represents unity and harmony, which is why they've remained the go-to for celebrations.

Benefits of round cakes:

• Perfect for classic birthday cakes
• Easy to customise with buttercream or fondant
• Great for layered cakes with tall designs
• Timeless and elegant for any occasion

Square Cakes – A Modern Alternative

Square cakes are becoming increasingly popular, especially for those who want a modern, bold design. A square drip cake makes an eye-catching centrepiece and provides more surface area for decoration and toppings.

Benefits of square cakes:

• Stand out from traditional round designs
• More serving portions (perfect for larger parties)
• Great canvas for drip cakes, geometric patterns, or stacked tiers
• Stylish and modern look for 2025 celebrations

Choosing the Right Shape for Your Event

When deciding between square and round, think about the type of event you're hosting:

Weddings & Anniversaries

Round cakes remain the most elegant choice.

Birthdays & Kids' Parties

Both shapes work, but square cakes allow for more creative designs.

Corporate Events

Square cakes provide clean, sharp edges, making them perfect for logos and branding.

Casual Celebrations

Round cakes keep it simple and timeless.
