4 celebration cakes for every occasion
Andre Martin

We've put together four sensational layer cakes for you to bake, plus party-worthy cupcakes. The frosted layer cakes look spectacular but are surprisingly simple when you follow our steps and pictures.

And, they all use 20cm cake tins, so you can spend your money on beautiful blooms and decorations instead of buying tins in sizes you'll probably never use again.

Get ready to wow the crowd with your swoon-worthy creations and let the celebrations begin!
