I would do 16 serves 100 and a 12 serves 56 if and to make it look nice a 8 serves 24 they could keep the top layer Is it a wedding cake?

I have used stacked design of 16"- 14"- 10"- 8" and usually it serves 150 to 160. Try that and hopefuly it will work for you. Other choice I would try is 5 tier, which is serves 170 to 175 people 16"- 14"- 10"- 8"- 6". Good Luck.

OMG, How lucky am I?? Thank God I ran through this thread, I have the same question!!!
May I also ask how many does your 12" round serve and your 9"?

Oh and LittleLinda, what about doing 16", 12" and 8"? And I would do a dummy 4" as a topper or something kind of tall since the last tier is 8". HTH.
Also, my cakes are pretty tall, most times over 4" so I can get away with 1"x2"x4"-5" size servings.

I have a set of round pans going from 6 to 16. I have NEVER baked the 16 inch! It looks HUGE to me! When I bought the set, I used it for my first wedding cake a few years ago. I did five tiers, 6,8,10,12,14 and skipped the 16. I thought it was good for 200 servings; but I forget. It was long ago. I'm afraid of wedding cakes. Got asked by a neighbor and I'm still so hesitant!

nefgaby, I guess you're very lucky!
