will 2 seperate 6inch cakes be enough to feed 30 people?
I have to do one cake with a baby theme and one with a farm theme.

If the 6" cakes are two layers each, you will only get about 24 servings total. I've noticed that at baby showers/weddings/events, not everyone will eat cake, so maybe you could get by with it? Wilton's website has some great graphs that show you how many servings each cake will make.

Good luck.

Here is a link to Earlene's serving chart. My opinion is that they would be extremely small servings though..if I were serving 30 I would do two 9" cakes!
