Wedding Cake Size/ Serving Guide
The table below is a guide to assist you in understanding the relationship between cake design and serving size. We can assist you with your particular requirements during the consultation process.
The high end of the 'Number of People Served' range is appropriate for weddings where guests will be served dessert in addition to the wedding cake. The low end end of the serving range, or larger servings, are appropriate where the wedding cake will be the only dessert served at the wedding.
