What Sizes Of Cakes Should I Bake?

Hey All,
I have to make a cake this weekend that will serve 70 people using the typical serving size (2X1) but they are keeping the top tier (6") which is not included in the 70 servings. So what size circles should I use. Would a stack of 6-8-10 be enough if they 8 and 10 are the only two served? I hope I am making sense!
In answer to your question an 8 and 10 would feed 62 people. Here is a link to the chart the shows the servings for each tier.

I would make 6", 8", 10" and 12". Better to have too much cake than not enough.
Try this website for servings and pan sizes, etc. It is slightly larger than Wiltons.

you can use which ever you want from the wilton site or earlenes site for the serving chart but you can also check this out by wilton site they have alot of info. for wedding cakes. just go on top of the page and choose what you want to find out very helpfull but of caurse not as much as CC is.

If they are going to use the standard 1x2x4, then go by wilton's chart.
If you use earline's chart, my understanding is the sizes are 1.5x2x4. This is 50% more cake per serving, so your price should be 50% higher if going by this chart (regular price is $3/serving by wilton .... so earline's serving would be $4.50/serving).
