Instructions: Here is a guide to sizes and servings for round, tiered wedding cakes. The number of servings is approximate; it varies with the type of cake, type of reception, and time of day. The 6 inch top tier is not included in serving yields because it is usually kept by the bridal couple.

SERVINGS TIER SIZES

40 10-, 7-, 6 inch
60 12-, 8-, 6 inch
75 12-, 9-, 6 inch
100 12-, 10-, 8-, 6 inch
135 14-, 10-, 8-, 6 inch
150 14-, 12-, 8-, 6 inch

Be sure to co-ordinate your choice of flavoring to accent your filling and butter-cream. A three-tier cake with 6-, 9-, and 12 inch tiers will serve 75-90.
