: I'd make my normal sized cake....mine are usually 4 inches tall.

Something to consider on servings....will someone go to each table and cut the cakes or will guests serve themselves?  If guest are cutting the cake, it would be safe to assume they will cut slices larger than traditional wedding servings....so I think an 8 inch cake will probably be what you need.

I understand what you mean about the cakes looking too small for the table, but, do I go ahead & make the 8" size cakes the usual wedding cake sizes then?  So they are somewhat taller that way?  I only offered them 3 different cake flavors,& no fillings.  When I first told them about the 6" cake serving 12-14 that was OK until they realized the cakes wouldn't be very big for the center pieces of each table.  Just trying to give them something nice as the center pieces without getting them too much cake.  I also understand that they could be displayed in a manner to elevate them, which would help.  Just need to come up with an idea that they can live with in the cost department.  Although I did mention that since they woulnd't be spending so much on elaborate floral center pieces they could come up an alternative way to display the cakes.  I also mentioned about having votive candles on the tables with the cakes to help with more of formal type of setting.  Anyway, thanks for the ideas.



: 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!!
