Ok, So I know I have been asking around a lot lately about cake sizes/serving proportions, and don't mean to be so annoying, but I think I have it figured out for an upcoming wedding this June. I need to serve 275 people. Using Wilton serving sizes if I use
18in square
14in round
8in square
6in round (anniversary cake)
I should get 271 servings. My question now is, will a 14in round sit on an 18in square base cake, and still look ok? I just need reassurance that these sizes will give me enough cake pieces, and still look ok sitting out for the reception .. anyone?
I like mixed shapes. There is a mixed shape gallery under wedding photos.
Could you replace the 8" sq. with a 10" sq.? that way it would be a uniform 4" difference throughout the cake?
Do you have dummies you could play with to see if you like it?
I don't have enough pans to stack and get the actual cake design. I just needed reassurance that these sizes would look ok, and if indydebi say's Im set, then Im set! 
I think it sounds fabulous! Can't wait to see the results!!
how are you going to bake the cake if you don't even have the pans to stack?
I have the pans, but I only have one six inch round, so I wouldn't be able to get the full height of the top layer, I don't have an eighteen inch square cake pan, but I have a few of some pans to bake in and shape from .. I can make the cake, I just don't have enough of the pans to assemble it like a real cake.
Tape off an 18" square on your counter or cut a piece of newspaper that is 18" square. Then set your 14" on this, and so on.
I think you're more concerned with how they space out edge to edge than you are about the height, so only having one pan of a particular size shouldn't be a biggy just for this exercise.
that's a smart idea .. I guess I did not think of that ..
