I am sorry this has taken four days to materialise and I hope the below ideas make it worth the wait! On Friday Charlotteandglenn asked what our thoughts were on cake types to follow a meze styled dinner. Now for me following that with a formal cake would not flow properly but there are so many different options out there nowadays to choose from, that you are not left without amazing options. Here are a few of my choices:

As with all of my options it will be easy for your guests to grab one of these cakes and carry on mingling, not to mention very easy to eat. Having the top tier as a normal sized cake of your choice will allow you to still be able to have the ceremonial cutting of the cake.
If you are struggling to find a baker whose decorating skills are up to scratch the good thing about the cupcake tower is, you can always pack an array of decorations and set about designing them yourself (or delegate one of your bridesmaids to do the job!). Don't forget there is also the option of decorating with real flowers.

The Ice Cream Cake

Simple and yet striking. Again adapting the top layer to allow for the cutting of the cake but this time having individual wafer baskets filled with ice cream and fruit. I personally love this but you will have to allow for the fact that the cake cannot be sitting out all night. As you can imagine it will not last very long in the warmth of the Greek evenings but would be a wonderful choice if you are looking to surprise your guests by bringing out the cake at the last minute.
The Dessert Tower

Lastly, the dessert choice. This was my personal choice for our wedding and worked perfectly. I had a choice of 4 desserts (a mix of South African favorites and Greek) each, individually portioned in perspex pots. On top was an ekmek kataifi for us to cut, although truth be told, we never got round to that part. If you would like to see what our dessert tower looked like please click the following link http://littlewhiteagenda.blogspot.com/2010/06/nattys-catering-choices.html
I know that I have chosen 3 versions of towers but I think that this is going to be the most striking and perfect way to not only present your cake but also to serve it. I hope this has been of some help to you and please let us know what cake you decide upon as we would love to see it!
