I just wondered what sizes you guys would do for a 100 serving round tiered cake?? I was planning 14/10/6 for a reunion cake. Would these sizes look ackward?? It just sounds like an uncommon combination to me. TIA

If anybody has a picture of a cake these dimension in their galleries would you please attach a link to the picture??? Thanks so much!

A 4" diff in tiers is pretty standard. Here's a 6/10/14 cake: http://cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=gallery&file=displayimage&pid=1252766

Here's the wilton wedding chart that I go by to determine servings: http://www.wilton.com/wedding/wedding-cakes/wedding-cake-data.cfm . A 6/10/14 actually serves 128.

I like a 3 or 4 inch difference so that combo sounds good to me

I always stack my pans to see how they'll look and go from there.

6x9x12 yields exactly 100 servings.

It works for 74 servings. You should find out the serving goal.
