OK... I have another wedding cake in Aug.
The girl only wants 2 tiers.... the top one being her cake topper...6" will be the size for this one...
OK...what I would like to know is ...what size would look nice for the bottom layer..... I don't want it to look too small...she's serving sheet cakes to her guests....but she wants a good cake for the cake cutting and for the family to eat...LOL...
I will also be torting this cake...
Any help and ideas would be greatly appreciated...
TIA

You don't think a 10" would look too small on the cake table for the cake cutting picture?????
I was thinking maybe 12"...
I'll have to see what kind of setting is going to be used for the cake table, then maybe I can go from there...
I love making 10" cakes though...my favorite size to decorate...
Thanks

I agree with Lisa.
Proportionally, a 10" cake rould look best with a 6" top. You need to consider the proportions of the diameters of the cakes.
A 10" cake isn't going to be any taller than a 12" cake, so the height won't look any different in the pictures. A 12" bottom tier would make the cake proportionally look shorter and fatter, kind of like someone squished it.
VIewed your photo...
The bride is looking at some wedding cake pictures....to get an idea of what she might want... I think simple is elegant...but we'll see what she picks...LOL...
Oh.... and what would you charge for a cake this size????
I'll let you know what she's decided on, to see if my pricing is near what everyone else's would be.
TIA

I saw the nice comment you left. Thanks! I charged $35 for that cake or about $1/serving. I was given the budget and told to make something simple so I made a cake to fit within that...simple and basic. No frills. If I were to do a wedding cake, I would have put a lot more time into it and probably charged at least twice that.
