An IMPORTANT tidbit of information for when you shop for a wedding cake…
SERVING sizes vary, depending on the baker / bakery.
Here is an example: When you go to W**-Mart, they have a handy-dandy little brochure that shows some of their wedding cakes. If you look closely, you will see that the serving size is for a 1 inch X 1 inch X 4 inch tall serving. Here is where it gets interesting. They say you will have 134 servings from a 3-tiered cake, based on a 6 inch tier, an 10 inch tier, and a 12 inch tier. Apparently my servings are much more generous. In my book, that is only 83 servings. I sell a 6 inch tier as 8 servings…. W**-Mart says that same tier is 16 servings. My 10 inch tier is 30 servings…. W**-Mart says that is 48 servings. My 12 inch tier is 45 servings…. W**-Mart says that feeds 70 people. You might think you are getting SO MUCH MORE cake for the money at the Big Box stores or the grocery store, but if they are postage stamp-sized servings, you had better hope your caterer knows how to cut that cake into slivers, or you will run out of cake in a hurry.
