Question for those that have made tiered cakes
What sizes were your cakes? I'm making one for DSs baptism next weekend and I'm debating what sizes. It's a joint baptism with DS and niece so there will be multiple families there, therfore lots of people. It's not the only dessert so I'm not concerned about it feeding everyone (60 people maybe?) - I just want it to be easy since it's the first time I'm making one.
TIA!
Re: Question for those that have made tiered cakes
This baptism cake that I made had 6", 8" and 10" layers (as requested by the party host). I typically like a 4-inch difference in layers -- if top layer is 6", next layer should be 10", next layer 14".
I made this 40th birthday cake for the same person but this one has the 4-inch size difference I prefer. If I'm doing more than two layers, I dowel the bottom two tiers for support.
I've made a few. I've done 2 and 3 tier. For the 2 tier I used 8 inch cakes for the base and 6 inch cakes for the top. For the 3 tier I used 10 inch for the base, 8 inch for the middle and 6 inche for the top.
For the 2 tier each tier was 3 cakes stacked. For the 3 tier, each tier was 2 cakes stacked.
Hope that helps and good luck!

10 in bottom and 6in top - 3 layers of cake. I made the double WASC recipe for two of the layers and the perfect chocolate cake recipe from the cake doctor for the middle layer. I only had about 15 people to feed and we only got through the top layer.
