Cake sizes, tiers and support

Custom cake sizes and tiers explained

Understand how servings, height, tiers and internal support affect the look, structure and quote.

01

Size follows servings and design

Size isn't just how tall the reference looks. It depends on how many people need cake and the visual impact the event wants.

Our smallest custom cakes serve 12–15 guests. Smaller groups can compare the ready-to-order range or enquire directly.

02

Tiers add structure decisions

Tiered cakes need more structure, transport planning, and display care than most single-tier cakes.

If you want height mainly for photos, say so. Servings and visual scale are related but different.

Questions about this topic

Do I need a tiered cake for a small party?

Not always. Ask what size and finish suit your servings and event style.

Can a small cake carry many decorations?

Sometimes, but small surfaces limit how many names, toppers, figures, and details fit cleanly.
