I have someone who needs a cake for 30 people, she wanted a lamb for a First Communion. So I made the Wilton Stand Up Lamb, and I MEANT to put it on a 12" cake. I BAKED A 10" CAKE!! icon_cry.gif I realllllly don't want to have to go to the store and get more stuff, because, of course, I have million vanilla cake mixes, but no more choc and not enough cocoa and syrup to turn the vanilla into choc.

I do have a 6" that I made from the extra batter, that I could do something with as a side cake. I made a RI tiara that I could place on it.

Do you think I need it? Would the lamb on a 10" cake (it is 10"x3") be enough to feed 30 people? Grrrrr icon_mad.gif what a dope I am! And of course it is due today. Well I'm off to finish the flowers, hopefull you guys have thoughts... thanks.

The 10" alone should feed 30, so you will be JUST fine! Don't stress. It's plenty!

I think it will be fine. The lamb should fee at least 12 and the 10" 30. So, relax and enjoy your weekend!

I baked a 10" square for 30 and there was tons left over for seconds and to take home so I'm sure you have plenty of cake.

You'll have plenty of cake, but if you think the lamb doesn't look right on a 10" cake, take the 6" cake you have and cut it in half. Place each semi-circle of cake on either end of the 10" to make a sort of scalloped or rounded square shape. It will make the cake look wider to give the lamb more room if you think it needs it.
