Frequently asked questions
Wedding Cake Size Calculator questions
What size wedding cake do I need for 100 guests?
Roughly a three-tier cake in dessert portions, or a smaller stack plus a kitchen cake. Enter your guest count above for the exact tier sizes.
What is the difference between dessert and coffee portions?
Dessert portions are the larger plated slice. Coffee portions are about half the size and are what most bakers quote, which is why cakes often feed more people than couples expect.
Do we need cake for every guest?
No. Many couples plan for around eighty percent of guests, especially when there is another dessert. The calculator lets you set that share.
