If your site has a spacious entry into the reception room, position the cake near the doors so that guests can view it from all sides as they enter the room to take their seats.
Use lighting to accentuate the cake table. Try pin lighting from above to spotlight your delicious dessert... or up-lighting under the cake table linen to create a lovely glowing effect.
Another option is to situate your cake so that it's placed in front of a nice backdrop.
You can also place the cake table on a riser to draw attention to it. Additionally, when it's time to cut your cake, all of your guests will have a clear view of the two of you.
