How Tall The Weddind Cake Have To Be?

I would like to know too, I thought that each layer should be 4 inches?? each, or is that too tall??
There is no 'rule', some use a three inch pan and torte, I prefer to use a 2" pan and fill between the two layers, (sometimes torte into four layers) resulting in a cake that is approximately 4" tall. (Maybe a little over or under depending) I like my cakes nice and tall and get many compliments on how tall they are. People in general have seemed to think that makes them look more elegant.
Thanks!! I thought so too. I am going for my first wedding cake consult on Friday (paid)!! so I will be back on this site getting psyched!!
4" really is pretty standard. Caterers normally serve the cake slice on a 5 or 6 inch bread and butter plate. That a standard plate size. If you make your cake any taller its harder for the caterer to get it on the plate. Any shorter and it looks small on the plate.
