Small in Size, Big in Style: 15 Small Wedding Cakes to Swoon Over

The best things don’t always come in the biggest packages. And more and more soonlyweds are catching on to this as they swap towering wedding cakes for smaller confections.

So as we prepare to see fewer large tiered cakes, today we're celebrating the small cakes that prove size doesn't mean you have to sacrifice style.
