How to choose your wedding cake
When deciding what size cake to order, first look to your guest count. Generally, three tiers will serve 50 to 100 guests; you'll likely need five layers for 200 guests or more. If the reception is in a grand room with high ceilings, consider increasing the cake's stature with columns between the tiers.
Consider the flavours you like
The first step to take when choosing your wedding cake is to determine what type and flavour you and your partner would like to have. While tradition suggests fruit cake or a mud cake variety, many modern couples opt for all sorts of flavours from vanilla, to caramel or white chocolate.
Know your wedding theme and style
The best way to determine the appearance and design of your wedding cake is to consider your wedding theme, style and colour schemes. For example, if you are having a rustic themed wedding then a semi-naked cake would perfectly suit the aesthetics of your wedding.
Number of guests
If you are having 200 guests, you may need to consider a cake that is three to four-tiers high, whereas, if you are having 90 guests or less one-tier would be suffice, (depending on the size of the tier.) The size of your wedding cake also depends on if you would like to serve coffee or dessert portions at your wedding. Dessert portions are large slices of cake which are typically served individually on a plate with a dollop of fresh cream or ice cream, and is not accompanied by other desserts.
