What Size Cake To Serve 70-80 People?
Decorating By pankake Updated 1 Jul 2013 , 8:48am by lesliemarie
Hi there,
I am new at this and am making a cake for a friend's engagement party.
She would like a 2 tiered cake to serve about 70-80 people, a small serve each (a coffee serve not dessert serve).
I was thinking maybe a 6" and a 10"? Or do you think I should go an 8" and a 12"?
There will be lots of other dessers there, so I don't want her to have heaps leftover, but also I don't want there to be not enough.
Thanks for your help
Are they going to be round or square? That makes a difference. If they are square, an 8" and a 10" will give you 82 servings (8"=32, 10"=50).

Here's how you cut a wedding cake to achieve those servings: http://www.cateritsimple.com/id10.html
6/8/10 rounds will serve 12/24/38 = 74 servings
If you need between 70 and 80, is having the bottom tier as a square cake, with 2 round tiers on top an option? that would be ....
6R/8R/10S = 12/24/50 servings = 86 total servings.

I knew someone else, with a lot more experience would chime in and save the day.

AThanks so much, I'm going to be making a cake for a baptism soon and wasn't sure how big I'd need to make it. :)
