What Size Separator Plates For A Wedding Cake?

I'm making a three tiered wedding cake as 6 inch, 10 inch and 12 inch. I was wondering what size separator plates I would need for these?

Answer:

The size of the separator plates is entirely up to you. You can use plates that are flush to the edge of your cake, or you can use plates that show around your cake, usually by one or two inches. You can then choose to ice any area of the plate that's showing, or leave it as is. It depends on how you want the finished cake to look.

I would recommend that you have a look at some pictures of wedding cakes to get a feel of what you'd like then choose your size accordingly.
