Size Cake For 15 People - Please Help! :)

Are you saying the bottom and top tiers would only be 3" & 2" tall, respectively, but they would be torted and filled? They'd have to be pretty thin cake layers to not be taller than that. If I bake a 6" cake I make 2 approximately 2" tiers that are then torted & filled (so three layers of filling total) and usually end up between 4-5 inches tall once it's covered in buttercream and/or fondant. That being said, when created in the same way described above, my 8" serves 20 generously, my 6" serves 12, and my 4" serves 2-3 depending how it's cut.
If you really end up with 3" and 2" tall tiers after filled and torted, I would assume you plan to cut bigger servings than the standard 1"-2" slices and you wouldn't get as many servings. If that's true, a 6" & 4" for 15 might be pushing it if it's the only dessert to be served.
Yes, that should be plenty! This is a 6" & 4" that served 17 nicely!

I'm sure it'll be more than enough for your guests :) Have fun!
