Hi
My brother in law is turning 40 and his wife wants a round cake with a baseball theme. She's pretty sure she wants a baseball diamond and/or a baseball on the cake. She requested a round cake and she said there will be about 100 people there but thinks she only has to order a cake for 50?? So my two questions:
1. Why does she think she needs a cake for 50 if there will be 100 people there?
2. IF I do make the cake for 100 people, what size round would I make? Would I have to do a stacked cake or have a sheet in the back?
thanks in advance.
OK so I now understand about making a cake for 50. You're right most people probably wont end up eating the cake.
So of course I now have another question; what size round pan should I use for the cake? The cake will be torted with a filling (not sure what yet). I do still want to make sure there is enough just in case more than 50 people eat it. Does that make sense??? I want to do a good job on this one since most of the guests have kids and have asked my sister in law about my cakes. I'm hoping for some possible business. 
Thanks in advance.
you need at least 12", better yet 14" round
