I'm making a wedding cake in September. The bride emailed me the cake that she wants, and the tiers don't look like they are 2 inches apart (ex: 8, 10, 12 inch round cakes) they seem like they are three or four, so I figured will a 6, 9 and 12 inch round cake look good?

Can you post the pic?

Anything from a 2 to 4 inch difference will work. The 2in differences work is there isn't anything that really needs to sit on the top edges of the cake. 4 works if you have a lot of stuff sitting on those edges.

I would check with her on the number of servings she needs and then the decorations and decide on the cake sizes from there.

Ok hopefully the attachment will work.

Ok I uploaded to my photos so here is the link:

I would say 12/9/6 would be fine! You could even go 4" between sizes if you wanted.

Oh and by the way she said it needs to serve 50, so the 6,9 and 12 rounds serves around 78. I thinks she'll be fine with that amount since it's not a final count.

Earlene says 75, Wilton says 100....I would average it somewhere around 85.
