Hello fellow bakers,

I recently started selling wedding cakes after a few months baking mostly birthdays.

So I naturally adjusted my serving chart, using the "wedding" size of most of the charts I saw. 

But my last bride told me the cake portions at are reception were really small and she wishes she had more, although she should have had plenty with 84 portions for a party of 60.

So here are my questions : 

-when stacking cakes, do you deduct the center portion where your dowels are of the total number of servings? 

- what chart do you use with wedding cakes?

And any other advices on wedding cake sizing would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
