It is important to consider how many people you would like to serve when deciding on your cake size. For wedding cakes remember not to take into account the top tier if you are intending to keep it.

Fruit cakes are cut smaller as they are a lot richer in flavour.
Sponge cakes generally tend to be cut a bit bigger as they are nice and light.
