how many do you need to serve? that will determine what size your cake needs to be, no matter what size the cake is in the pic.

Looks like 12, 10, 8 to me. I can usually tell by the size of the top teir and work from there.

I agree with SweetConfectionsChef. 12, 10, and 8. The top tier is always the give away.

I agree with SweetConfections and I do the same. Usually you can tell a 6 from an 8 and I think this one looks like an 8.

When i first saw this cake I thought 12,10,8. The top looks wider. Are you making this replica? If so good for you, it is a very beautiful cake.

What I do maybe it will help you in sizing, is I take the pans and turn them upside down and stack them. It gives me a small version of what I'm wanting to make.

I think it's a 10-8-6..............compare it to the 12-10-8 in my pics, and the top seems smaller..........

Like debi said, you need to find out how many servings you need and can go from there.

I think it's an 8-10-12. With tiers that are 4" high, the top tier looks like its twice wide as its height.

In looking at the top tier, I think it is too wide to be 6". My vote is 8-10-12, all of them 4" tall. If you want to be sure, stack your cake pans upside down and compare to the picture. That's what I do.

12-10-8 to me. The top just looks a smidge bigger than a 6 inch.

Nice cake!

She said 120 people so then a 12, 10 and 8 would be correct?

Based on Earlene's chart, an 8-10-12 cake will yield 15+30+45=90.

http://www.earlenescakes.com/ckserchart.htm

Based on the chart from CC, it will yield 24+38+56=118.

I usually go by Earlene's chart so there is no risk of being short on cake (it has a more generous cake serving than the CC chart) so you might not have enough cake for 120.

I always follow Wilton's chart and let the bride choose how many servings she wants. In this case I would offer 14-10-8 (134 serv) or 12-10-8 (118 servings) and charge her accordingly. While the slice of cake might look like a sliver on the top they are 4 layers of cake and 3 layers of filling when you order from me....making a wedding serving quite large...especially after a dinner.

Agree. People tend to hear "one inch" and think "teeny tiny". If you really look at it, it's NOT a small piece of cake.
