The largest sized cake I can bake is 16".  I am ordering a wedding cake stand. Should I order a 19.5" stand whose top diameter is 18" or the 22" stand. I don't have the diameter of this size, but my guess it is about 20".  TIA!

I always say bigger is better!

APurchase th 18! You'll be able to use it with a 16" & 14".

I made the mistake of purchasing one too big & now have to buy another.

AThis is my 18" stand with a 14" cake: [IMG]http://cakecentral.com/content/type/61/id/3063262/width/200/height/400[/IMG]

AThat about how your 16" will look on a 20".

This is a 12" on that same 18" which is how the 14" would look on the 20": [IMG]http://cakecentral.com/content/type/61/id/3063264/width/200/height/400[/IMG]

Thank you all for your replies! I appreciate the advice.
