#WeddingWednesday
Today is the day of the week that we talk all things weddings!
One of the most popular questions we get asked is how many tiers should your wedding cake have? π°
One of the sweetest decisions you’ll make for your big day (literally!) is choosing your wedding cake. But how many tiers do you actually need?
Here’s a simple guide to help you decide!
π Guest Count Matters π
The size of your guest list plays a big role in determining the number of tiers:
ππ2 Tiers → Ideal for small weddings (up to 50 guests)
πππ 3 Tiers → Perfect for 50-100 guests
ππππ 4 Tiers → Great for 100-150 guests
πππππ 5+ Tiers → A showstopper for 150+ guests
Other Factors to Consider :
- Aesthetic & Style: More tiers = a grander, more elegant look. If you love the idea of a tall cake but don’t need that much, consider using dummy tiers for extra height!
- Flavour Variety: Each tier can be a different flavour—why choose just one when you can have chocolate, red velvet, and lemon drizzle all in one cake?
- Venue & Display: A towering cake looks incredible in a spacious ballroom (like at Talbot Hotel Clonmel, while a smaller, more intimate wedding may suit a simple and chic design.
- Budget: More tiers mean more cake, more decorations, and a higher cost. If you're looking for a budget-friendly option, a single-tier cutting cake with cupcakes for guests is a stylish alternative!
