are hundreds of options for wedding cakes, from small to large, round to square. many brides like to look of a larger wedding cake, but that size cake is too large for an intimate gathering.
often, a bride and groom will be seen cutting a cake that is too small to feed guests, while there are sheet cakes sliced by wait staff that are designed to match. this saves money because sheet cakes are more inexpensive and easier to slice.
if you’d rather only serve the single wedding cake, the easiest way to determine the size needed is knowing how many people each layer will serve. for fewer servings, subtract a tier.
