Tradtional round cake, what size tins?

There are a couple of cake HIBs who come on quite often, Debbie Bone is one, keep a look out for them I'm sure they'll be along soon. Sorry I can't help.

Not sure if this helps but I am having a 4 tier and having 12, 10, 8 and 6.

I guess it depends on how many people you want to feed though.

Sorry can't help any more.

I'm having a three tier 12 , 10 & 8.I origially ordered some cake tins off e*bay but they never arrived , so back too looking for some more

After talking to my cake making lady, she was saying that if we went for a 3 tiered cake it'd be 12,9,6.

We're going for 4 tiers which will be 12,10,8,6.

These are both round cakes btw.

As for the tins.....i'm sure i've seen them in some wedding nic-nac type shops, and craft shops both to buy and hire.

Thanks guys,

I Live in Hampshire and the cake tins would be going to Cornwall. Ideally id needs the cakes a reasonable size to feed approx 70 people, also I would be saving one tier as a baptismal cake for our first future child as is tradition within my family.

So maybe I need four cakes then.. oooh gosh Help!!

Hi there- cake HIB here.

I agree with what Jules.40 said if you have a standard 3 tier cake then 6,8 and 10 will be fine if you cut the top and the bottom and keep the middle for a future occasion. This is what I advise my customers to do - the top tier is often too small when it comes to a Christening.

However, it also depends on the design of cake you are having. I personally prefer the look of a 12, 9 and 6 inch cake if the tiers are stacked - it gives more of a difference between the tiers.

If this doesn't make sense let me know and I'll illustrate what I mean with pictures.
