Hi everyone,
I've been asked about possibly doing cakes for each reception table(that will be the each tables main decoration so to speak, no flowers, and needing 350 servings total, and figuring for around 35 cakes (1 per table of 35 tables). What sizes would you make for height & diameter wise? 6" is too small for guests to cut properly, since most will probably cut the cakes into wedges instead. So, would you do 8" rounds, and just not as tall a layers as for regular wedding cake sizes? I think they're wanting the cakes to look a descent size, but, don't want excess cake either. Any suggestions on how some of you have done the single cakes per table, the sizes you used, etc.? I've never done them for each table before, can you tell? LOL. Thanks!!
