Hey guys:
I need to make a cake for 150 people.I need to incoroporate this logo in it;


I was thinking to do the two tiered cake, with BC transfer of the logo covering the whole top tier of the cake(Im not even sure if this is possible).
But Im not sure what the size of the two tiers should be.I was thinking about making the bottom one 12" and the top one 10"(three layers each).Is this going to be enough cake or not?. icon_confused.gif
Someone please help me out here.TIA.


Lejla.

A 10" cake should serve 18 people if they are 1"x2" pieces, it will serve more if there are 3 layers. A 12" will serve 25, the same size. Maybe add an 8" layer too just to be sure?
How big is the logo? You may be able to do an FBCT if it's not too big. Just make a bunch of them.
Square cakes serve more people, you may want to use squares. A 12" square 2 layer will serve 36 and a 10" will serve 25.

For 150 peple I'd go with one double layer 16" round and one double layer 12".

and of course what I see is...

a big TALL 3 tier SQUARE cake (6 layers torted and filled, separated by cake boards and doweled.) say 14" on a sid (so that's 63 - 1.5x2 servings a tier for a total of 189 or could go down to 12" and have 48/tier for total of 144 servings)

all tiers same size so end up w/ big BOX (see where I'm going!)

then big old wings out of fondant covered styrofoam
resting on engines made of cake baked in small round (say 4" or so -- which is why 12" square would be ok as have extra cake in engines)

of course is just happens to look like that flying gift box, complete w/ bow.

and the gift TAG would have the logo

with
TO: Children everywhere
From: the warmest place in our hearts.

could also do logo on wing tops
