I am supposed to be making a 2 tiered cake for a baby shower. She wants an 8" and 6". If I'm correct, this will serve 15 and 8. Now... how tall do I need to make each tier to achieve this serving amount. I think I got this off of earlenes cake chart.
Thanks!
Hello! According to this site (http://www.baking911.com/cakes/numberofservings_guide.htm) each tier should be 4". From what I am learning in class that seems to be the standard. HTHs 
Each tier shoud be 4", but a 6/8 inch will serve 36. The 6 inch will serve 12 and the 8 inch will serve 24.
mamarobin is right ..... I think the "15 & 8" numbers you are using are if you cut them in pie-shaped wedges instead of cutting them the proper way.

Debi, do you have any advice on cutting a fondant covered cake. Do you use the same method, same knife, just wondering what works the best for getting clean slices. I usually only do buttercream cakes, and i'm doing a fondant one, and i'll be the one cutting the cake, so want it to look nice. Your method of cutting looks so nice and neat, usually by the end of the cake, I have a mess, so definitely going to try this method
