Everything you need to know about wedding cakes, sizes, tiers & servings

We’re all looking for #weddinggoals, also known as the kind of wedding that we’ve pinned on Pinterest. And we’re here to tell you that’s possible! No, we’re not going to plan your entire wedding for you, but we can definitely look after that one key element that can practically make or break your wedding day(apart from your spouse). So, let’s talk about wedding cakes. Oh, did you just imagine a white, tall cake? Let’s change that. It's high time we break the monotony and do something a little more unconventional. The variety of wedding cakes in Mumbai is massive! And if you look up “order wedding cake online” you’ll end up more confused. So here are a few must-knows for anyone who’s looking to order a wedding cake in Mumbai.

Designs

Picking a wedding cake design can be overwhelming and confusing. But there are a few styles you absolutely can’t go wrong with. An embroidered cake is one of these. If you believe that a wedding cake is just a cake without that floral touch, these are the right ones for you! Try looking for wedding cakes online and we’re sure you won’t find these exclusive designs. Another style you could try is drip cakes which are trending, and we can totally see why! They look stunning and there’s so much you can do around it. Be it flowers, macarons or other toppings, there’s a lot you can pick from. Although not a common wedding cake option, it’s sure to be a crowd pleaser!

Tiers

Multiple tiers are synonymous with wedding cakes. They look grand and beautiful. However, you could always restrict the number of tiers depending on the size of the cake. Another tip here would be to have some tiers as dummy ones, so your cake looks big and beautiful, although it won’t actually contain a lot of cake. Hexagonal tiers are unique and add an eye catching touch to your cake. If you’d like to branch out and be creative, you don’t have to go for a multi tiered wedding cake. A stunning display of a one tier cake with cupcakes that complement it, is also a great way to amp up the wedding centerpiece.

Sizes

It’s essential to get the size of your wedding cake right. Hence we suggest you actually consult a cake designer instead of choosing to order a wedding cake online. Ending up with too many wedding cake leftovers is definitely a waste, but ending up with not enough for everyone is also embarrassing. Hence the couple should take a suitable judge of the number of people that would turn up at their wedding.

Servings

It’s important that everyone has a good taste of your delicious wedding cake. An 8 inch cake serves around 20-24 guests. Keeping this in mind, it’s important to calculate the serving capacity of your cake and also who would cut and serve it. It’s best to have someone who can do this well, so your cake is put to the best use and there’s no or minimal wastage.
