Hi all - first post.

By trade a Display manager at a fireworks company, but am making and decorating a wedding cake for a friend (next year)

The cake I wish make is going to be 4 tiers - rich fruit cake for all tiers.

Fondant iced - not Royal Icing.

Bottom 2 tiers I want to be bottom = square - then round.

Then 4 pillars

Then the same again for the top 2 square bottom - round top.

Around 200 guests - finger portions. No problem going too large in order for things to look right.

Am trying to figure out what cake sizes I need to make as I want to get them done this year.

I know there are portion diagrams out there - I was wondering more of the visual look with sizing - as the pillars will break up the pyramid.

Many Thanks

Gerry

.

tell me please what size serving is a finger size? 

-k8memphis - well traditionally in Canada  anyway- wedding fruitcake used to be about 1 inch in diameter by about 3 inches high. It will be interesting to see if that is what is meant. I know my wedding cake 44 years ago was 3 inch high fruit cake that Mom baked and I had decorated but my mother insisted on it filling the little boxes that were fashionable in those times...lol. 

Buy yes, you need to know to picture what would look proportionate.
