Look in the wilton yearbook. That's where I usually find the amounts of cakes to make.

I have always heard that the Wilton servings are never enough. There was a topic at sometime on this site that listed the suggested serving sizes and amounts. You might want to do a search here and see if it comes up.... I will also look for you and get back if I find it!!!

go under the article tab at top and scroll down. THere is serving suggestions for 2 inch pans and 3 inch pans. This should get you the amount of cake you need. I printed off and it has worked for me everytime.

Mcdonald, thank you so much for the location of that serving size info! I was on here searching and searching through the forums for that the other day and was about to die from reading through all that other stuff. And there it is simple and sweet! thumbs_up.gif

This is the Wilton serving chart, which is what I go by when I set my pricing. It's the industry standard wedding cake size. If they want to cut it bigger, they are more than welcome. If that means they need more cake, then they can order more cake and pay for it.

Just because their family is used to eating 4x6" pieces of cake, doesn't mean I have to eat the cost.

Ditto. And just for reference Wilton's servings are very close to 1"x2"x4" for double layers and 2"x2"x2" for single layers.
