Working in this industry is hard and refraining from nibbling every couple of minutes is even harder. Being born in 1960 meant that I experienced a multitude of weddings during the late 1970's to the mid 1980's. At that time wedding cakes had become an afterthought; something placed, not always so delicately, in a little bag for guests to take home.
When I got married, my cake was made by a wedding coordination company in the south suburbs of Chicago. Not only did they make our wedding cake, they designed our flowers, dyed the girls' shoes, and arranged for our limousine. They were truly polymathic (might have to look that one up - I know I did). They did a great job and the cake was delicious.
Unlike many of the weddings I had been to, I planned on serving our cake for dessert. In fact, the hotel charged me an extra cutting fee for bringing in my own baker. At the time I'd never considered baking as a profession, but I knew the importance of a delicious slice of cake at the end of a meal.

Services
How many servings should I order?
One slice per guest is needed if serving the cake to the table as a plated dessert.
If you are serving the cake at a station, we recommend servings equal to 80% of your guest count.
If the cake is at a sweets table with an extensive selection, then you may only need servings for what equals 50% of your guest count.
You might want to consult with your venue or caterer.
The top tier is not calculated into the servings; that is for you to take home and save for your first anniversary.
