When picking out a wedding cake, one of the most important things to think about is how many guests you're inviting. You want to have a delicious cake that your guests can all enjoy! The size of your cake will not only depend on your guest count but also the shape and number of tiers. The number of servings that one tier yields will differ depending on the shape and size of the cake. The most common two shapes being round and square. So how many servings will a single tier yield?
Approximate servings for round tiers:
- 8" round = 14 servings
- 9" round = 24 servings
- 10" round = 38 servings
- 12" round = 56 servings
- 14" round = 78 servings
- 16" round = 100 servings
- 18" round = 146 servings
Approximate servings for square tiers:
- 8" square = 32 servings
- 10" square = 50 servings
- 12" square = 72 servings
- 14" square = 98 servings
- 16" square = 128 servings
- 18" square = 182 servings
You are able to mix and match the different sizes to ensure that you will have enough cake for all of your guests! If the cake that you choose includes a 6" tier, most bakeries will not count that layer in the estimated servings, because that tier is typically saved to be eaten at a later date, such as an anniversary.
