Cake/cupcake Servings

Frevrwevr, on April 27, 2021 at 1:58 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 8

When ordering cake and desserts, should you order enough for everyone to get something or enough for everyone to get one of everything? Our cake is big enough for everyone to get a slice and we have cupcakes on the side, but the top tier is almond, bottom tier is vanilla, and the cupcakes are key lime. So I'm wondering do I need to have enough of each flavor for each person to get one of each, or just have enough for each person to either get one cupcake or a slice of cake. Thanks!

    Always order enough so everyone has the option of being able to get one of each flavor/type.

    Bear in mind that wedding cake slices are tiny, but much easier to eat than cupcakes without any of the mess (icing on the face, crumbs not collected on a plate, etc) . Also what happens if everyone decides they prefer vanilla? For non cake desserts, someone might say ‘go check out the awesome cheesecake bars’ but there aren’t any left because only a small amount was ordered. You can always take home leftovers.

    I would have enough of each flavor. Like Michelle said, you could always take home any leftovers.

    I personally had two tiers of strawberry and one largest tier of mango. so i did it mostly one enough in general vs enough of each flavor

    We're doing each tier a different flavor 🤷‍♀️ that's way too much cake if I was to get 60 slices of each flavor

    We’re also doing each tier a different flavor. We put the best tasting flavor and the one we think everyone will love at the bottom since that’s the biggest tier. Normally not everyone will not eat the cake so, I decided to get just enough servings instead of a piece for everyone.

    I would recommend getting enough for everyone to have something not each flavor.

    With the way have it now, there would be an additional 20ish servings leftover and we don't really want much more leftover (at least not for us to take home) so I'm leaning towards just making sure there's enough for everyone to have a slice or a cupcake. Thanks y'all!

    I think it's a good idea to get enough of each flavor. It can be from a sheet cake, not the actual wedding cake
