trying to set a budget for the wedding and trying to see if i can save money on some areas so I thought id try my hand at making my own cake, I can bake cakes have done since school but never been good at decorating so need the practice.
i need some help working out what sizes would be best to serve 30-40 people without the top tier. I want a 4 tier cake.
Is that too much cake?

how big do i make the slices to give the guests?
do I double stack the cakes?
what inch cake tins do i use for the differernt tiers?

the info im get off the net is not helping me much. xx

There was a very useful thread on this, will see if i can find it :)
I would say a 4 tier cake is a lot of cake for 40 people, we are having four tiers for about 120-people

Im having around 80-90 extra on the night as well and I wasnt sure if the cake would be big enough for them as well. will leave the cupcakes then I think. xx

never thought of that. thanks. xx
