Hi!
I am wondering if you think these sizes on a wedding cake would look funny.
A 14", 12", 8" and 6"

I only need 150 servings and am trying to figure out how to do it.
I am a bit leary on these sizes as there is a bit difference between the 12" and 8".

Any other thoughts would be helpful!
This will be covered in dripped ganache with strawberries trailing down the side. Non-traditional wedding cake!

mmm.... sounds terrible! icon_lol.gif If it doesn't work out, you can bring it over to my house and I'll destroy the evidence for you!!! icon_biggrin.gif

Ok, I think the 14, 12, 8 & 6 will be fine. It seems like the 14 & 12 kind of "go together" and the 8 & 6 "go together" If you wanted to do different shapes or something, that might be an option... squares might be interesting... having them off-set or something maybe? What about a seperator between the 12 & 8? It doesn't have to be grecian pillars, maybe the round globe types, or something else...?

well...depends on the decoration too...
like if you have flowers around the base of the 8 on top of the twelve that might disguise the difference...

I think it would work. I know a lot of bakers who mix sizes like that. I am personally to OCD and symmetrical of a person to want to do that, but I have seen it a lot. here is a pic.
