Is There A Difference In Serving Sizes?

I am a bit confused on the # of servings per Wilton cake pans. Their website only talks about cakes based on 2 layers cakes. It does not mention anything about a 3 or 4 layer cake tiers.
So does the # of servings increase if your cakes are 3 or 4 layers vs the 2 layer cakes? Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
Serving size is based on pan size. Most tiers are two layers. Different serving charts have different serving guides as well. For example a 6in tier can yield anywhere from 6 to 12 servings depending on which chart u use. I prefer 8 servings for a 6 in. So look around at some different charts and pick one you like that u can start with. There's a good one by indydeb in the gallery section under the template section. Some ppl also use a smaller serving for wedding cakes versus party cakes. Whatever chart u use will still work the same. So let's say u do a two tier cake 10in and 6in u just add the total servings for the 10in to the 6in and wallah ur total servings for the cake lol well I hope I answered ur question as I look at my long rambling
I think when adding height (additional layers) the serving quantity remains the same but the servings are larger per slice.
So, I usually just go with a taller cake and know that the serving sizes are more generous, but you wont get more servings in any given cake.
Hope that makes sense....
