: I've just started making wedding cakes professionally and am wondering how does one determine the size of cake needed for how many guests? I know this depends of type of cake, etc. but just in general......
Natalie,
According to Friberg's The Professional Pastry Chef
These numbers vary according to what is being served at the reception
whether cake & champagne only, buffet dinner, or hor d'oeuvres.

* 18-inch=40-50 guests
* 16-inch=30-40 guests
* 14-inch=25-30 guests
* 12-inch=15-20 guests
* 10-inch=10-15 guests
* 8-inch=8-10 guests
Friberg notes that you should not count the top tier as it is
probably saved.
Hope this helps,
