One Tiered Cake For 75 Ppl?
Decorating By bakingmywaytowealth Updated 20 May 2013 , 4:13pm by AZCouture
Hello Bakers:
I recently received a request to make a 1 tiered cake for 75 ppl. Can this be done?
I have a 10" round pan and was wondering if I could just bake two 10" cakes and stack them as one tier? Would this be enough for 75 ppl?
Also, how much fondant would I need? You can tell I'm an amateur right? HA!
Thanks so much for any direction.
A double 10" round will not give you 75 servings.
A 14" double round will serve 63-82. A 12x12 double square will serve 48-72. The larger number is only if cut using wedding slices.
Here is a wilton document addressing how much fondant needed to cover different sizes of cakes.

If you're speaking in two separate tiers stacked together, then almost. Those are referred to as double barrels. A double barrel 10 will yield about 70 servings. Probably close enough. But geez, what an odd look unless it's being heavily decorated or has a very striking and large focal point.

Thank everyone for the responses! Really appreciate it!
Question: If I do a double 10" or a double barrel - would I seperate each layer with a round cardboard piece so they wont cut straight through? That way it will be enough and they will cut the top layer then the bottom although they'll be stacked together? (hope that makes sense).

No, not each layer -- each layer cake or tier... every 4" of cake height. It's 2 two-layer cakes the same size that just happen to be stacked.
Why do they only want a single tier to that amount of people? Why don't you just do a half sheet which about 72 people. Also a 16" will feed 77 people. Even if you do a 10" double barrel you would only get 56 serving since each only feeds 28 people. Plus it will look VERY strange to do it that way.
