Best Tier Sizes For A 250 Serving Round Wedding Cake?
Decorating By bittersweety Updated 20 May 2013 , 7:14pm by Annabakescakes
hey all,
I own a bakery so I should be able to figure this out but my brain is on overdrive... I need to make a round wedding cake, 4 tier, that serves 250...what are the best sizes to accomplish this. I've gone through all the combos of sizes and none of them seem to work.... ugh I need a nap
would it be possible to make one big main cake with 4 tiers and maybe two smaller secondary cakes??
okay I just did a bit of thinking and you could do this if it's a round cake:
6" (10 servings)
10" (42 servings)
14" (82 servings)
18" ( never did one but I estimate about 120 servings)
that would add up to 254 if anybody could confirm the servings for the 18" !
Hope that helped you ;)

unfortunately the biggest pan I have is 16 inch. I was thinking id do a 16, 13, 10, 7... id still be little shorter though according to wilton...
AI guess if you don't do it uniformly, is your best bet. Which can be cool. I have your 7",10,13,16 at 220 servings. You could do the 10" as a "double barrel" (though I detest the term, since double barrel is two barrels side by side, a misnomer if there ever was one) that would be 258 servings.
ANever mind. I just looked at all the combos to do it as close to 250 as possible and they were horrible. The double height tier is the best option using your pans.
I just did two cakes for the same amount this past weekend with ample cake left over at the different weddings . One cake was 16-14-12-10 The 10 inch was a 3 inch pan times two. The other cake was 14-12-10-8 with 8inch being 3 inch pans.

hmm.. and what about "cheating" and making a cheat cake, cut out 18" circles and put them together?
Or if the bride likes this combo (6-10-14-18) up the price a little because of you having to get a new pan. Don't know about the business part though lol

I'd definitely throw in a double barrel in there somewhere. But I'd never let a bride tell me to squash 250 servings into a four tier cake.
Yeah, no kidding! The taller the cake the better! I am working on a wedding cake right now that is 120 fewer servings and is a 4 tier. 7,9,11,13, all 5" tall. I also think squatty cakes are detestable, lol.
Exactly the configuration I did Saturday. I'll upload a pic when I get to the computer that has the original. This is 120 servings. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=585522371478166&set=a.569312279765842.1073741826.110414962322245&type=1&theater
Stupid overdone vignette. Needed to back that off a bit. Think I will actually and repost.
