Obviously wedding cakes are priced by the serving. Eventhough my wedding has a guest list of 200 people, I only wanted a 50 serving wedding cake to save on money with sheet cakes in the back. However, I don't know how big a 50 serving wedding cake is, and I don't want it to look, well, dinky! My cake is square with two layers stacked and a third tiered layer. Does anyone have any pictures of a 50 serving cake so I can get an idea about the size?

I just did a tiered cake for a party this weekend at my house...we had 45 guests.

I did a 3 layer cake - 10", 8", 6" and I basically had the whole 6" left over. I used my pillars & plate from my wilton 3 course to make it look more "grand." (each layer was 3 inches thick with filling inside & fondant/icing covering outside)

I don't have a pic of this particular cake but if you look in my pics, my Wilton III course final cake is the same size for how the 6" & 8" layers looked with the pillars...(the bottom 10" layer is missing of course).
