How many... cake tiers?

Lynnie, on January 27, 2020 at 09:05 Posted in Wedding reception 0 31

Are you stacking your wedding cake sky high?? Or do you love the clean look of a single tier? Does it all depend on how many guests you need to feed?

    Our venue provides 3-tier cake. I opted for it stacked. This is kind of the look I’m going for- but no flowers on top.How many... cake tiers? 2

    Hey there. I am at the beginning stages of planning not getting married until 2021 however, I am curious about the going rate now for a 3 tier cake. We are thinking to have 160 to 180 guest so i am assuming we would not get a cake to serve all our guests?


    love to read your replies

    We are doing a 6" for cake cutting as well and then ordering two quarter sheet cakes in two different flavours to serve. Saved a ton of money this way. I love cake but I cant justify the costs they wanted for tiered cakes when our wedding is so small and low key.

    We're planning to have only one tier - an 8 inch cake, and two flavours of cupcakes for guests. Then we can still do the cake cutting and I can have a cake topper.

    I'm hoping for 3. We're doing cake for 100, and I've always wanted a tiered cake so 3 is the magic number

    Just two, I'm a fan of the tiered look but we're saving some money on cake by doing a smaller one and offering other desert options. That and I know a lot of people don't like cake that much

    The cake we got just for cake cutting photos, so it's a small 6" single tiered cake with a raspberry and lemon flavours. Then we're having mini cupcakes for everyone else.
