First Wedding Cake - 2 Or 4" Difference In Tiers
Decorating By dchinda Updated 18 Apr 2011 , 3:08pm by dchinda
You'll probably need a two inch difference so there is no overhang. Get your pans out and stack them, see how it's going to look. Hope it turns out great!
Would it look better with 2" difference between each tier or 4"?
Two inch difference won't work. Four inch difference won't work for cakes ten inches or larger.
Right angle measurements:
4" 5.66
5" 7.07
6" 8.49
7" 9.9
8" 11.31
9" 12.73
10" 14.14
11" 15.56
12" 16.97
13" 18.38
14" 19.8
15" 21.21
16" 22.63
17" 24.04
18" 25.46
CWR41-Would you recommend I use a 12" on the bottom, 8" on the middle on 6" on the top? I was planning on doing 10/6/8 if I only needed a 2" difference. Thanks for the quick responses.
No. A 6" won't fit on an 8". You need at least 8.5" or it will overhang.
The big question isn't three tier, it's what is the serving goal.

If you make cakes as small as 4", you could make a 4" square on a 6" square on a 10" square... it would serve 8+18+50=76 plus 50-54 for the half sheet would total about 126-130 if the groom's cake will also be served at the same event.

Does that work for you along with the half sheet, or does the tiered cake need to serve at least 100?

Yes, the wedding cake & the grooms cake combined need to feed 100. Thank you for your help.
