The amount of cake depends on the number of guests, the type of cake: light (fruit) or fatty, the amount of other food, availability entertainment program. For an ordinary wedding, with a number of guests of 20 people, a planned program and a normal menu, we recommend ordering a cake at the rate of 100-150 grams per person.

Some tips for choosing a wedding cake:

A wedding cake should be delicious and beautiful.

It is desirable that the cake be light, without fatty cream, so that after the wedding feast there will be “enough room” for sweets.

It is not advisable to use meringue or waffles as a decoration or base for the cake, since when cutting, the meringue and waffles will break and crumble unsightly.

It is preferable if dyes are not used, so that the bride, witness or mother-in-law does not start to become covered with red spots right at the table due to a sudden onset of allergies (such cases have happened). True, the cake will lose a little in appearance.

The amount of cake depends on the number of guests, the type of cake: light (fruit) or fatty, the amount of other food, and the presence of an entertainment program. For an ordinary wedding, with a number of guests of 20 or more people, a planned program and a normal menu, we recommend ordering a cake based on:

Light (fruit) cake: 1 kg/10 people or 100g per man, 150g per woman. If there are a small number of guests and there is no wedding table, it is recommended to increase the quantity of cake by two to three times. Those. for 15 people - 3-5 kg. The cake with rich cream is more filling and you can order less of it.

Brides' opinions on the amount of cake:
Lyudmila:
We had 25 people at our wedding. The 3 kilogram cake was completely devoured! Then we ordered a cake from the same company (Dr. Baker) for another party, but there was no wedding table there, so 14 people slammed those 3 kg at once!

Tatiana:
5 kg for 50 people is even a lot... There were 45 people, but there are a lot left. But smaller is not as beautiful. Probably the cream is light, that's why it happened. There would be enough people for 65 - 70 people. (Ordered in Roskon)

Anatoly:
out of 7 kg for 55 people, only 5 were eaten. The rest, apparently, after ice cream, sweets and alcohol, simply did not fit anymore...

Tanya:
we took 7 kg for 55 people. Enough for 2 days.

Lukavo:
they said that it was about 1 kg per 10 people. Depending on the rest of the food and program. But it also depends on the cake. If it’s fatty, they’ll eat less, if it’s light, maybe more... According to my recollections of birthdays, it somehow didn’t even come down to cakes. We remembered at the last moment. And at weddings, I don’t even remember cakes. Maybe they ate it without me? Unless they cut the cake from the very beginning, then they will probably eat it. I will take fruit 5 kg for 50 people....
...It turned out to be “not quite fruity”: (We ate in a hurry, it was already time to leave. And it didn’t get to hot, everyone was full of snacks. And there were 35 people instead of 50. It took a few more days to finish the cake....

Anna:
I didn’t think that the male half could eat more... I’ll order 4 kg for 39 people...

Olga L:
for 32 people 3 kg was just right!

GalKa:
We had 3 kg for 25 people - it turned out to be a lot - a third of the cake was left...

Irina:
when we called bakeries, we were told that depending on the gender of the guest it is necessary
100 g/man and 150 g/woman. We were recommended a 4.5 kg cake for 40 people.

Markiza:
The guests simply swept away the cake (3 tiers on a stand - 5 kg); they took home a tiny piece (and there were only 15 guests).

JD
6 kg cake - everyone liked it, but it turned out to be too much for 40 guests. About half were taken home.

Whatever the theme of your wedding event, you can choose a cake that perfectly matches it or make a custom order. For our pastry chefs, there are no impossible tasks.

How much does your cake weigh?

The scale of the event and the number of guests invited is the first factor that determines what size the wedding cake you order will be. Therefore, at the time of placing an order, you need to know this as accurately as possible.

Professional chefs say that on average 100-150 g of dessert are consumed per person. It is this indicator that the customer should start from. But this is not all that you need to know about, since in this case there are some nuances. In particular, when it comes to the specifics of the cake recipe.

So, answering the question of how many kg a wedding cake weighs for 100 people or how many kg a wedding cake weighs for 20 people, you can give the same figure. The fact is that the dessert cakes can be made from fluffy, weightless sponge cake, but the weight of the cake will be made heavier by the impregnation. Also, if you order a cake with fondant, be prepared to pay extra for it.

Wedding cake for 30 people how many kg?

This number of guests is considered relatively small. These usually include close relatives and best friends newlyweds Therefore, the cake for such an event should not be too big.

Wedding cake for 40 people how many kg?

The number of guests is already larger, so the weight of the cake must be increased proportionally. It is worth remembering that if you prefer a cake made in several tiers, the top one always remains for the newlyweds. For this reason, it is not included in the weight calculation when dividing it into portions.

Wedding cake for 50 people how many kg?

Such a wedding cannot be called modest. That is why it is worth making sure that each of the guests remains well-fed. Practice shows that not all invitees stay for the sweet table, but you still need to count on every guest.

Wedding cake for 60 people how many kg?

If you are confused by the process of dividing the cake into large number equal pieces, use the following life hack: instead of a monolithic cake, order a cupcake or a portioned cake. This is a practical and fashionable wedding dessert that does not need to be cut and divided into equal portions. Our confectioners have already done all this.

Wedding cake for 80 people how many kg?

This is a real party on a grand scale. Needless to say, in order to feed almost a hundred hungry guests, you need to try very hard. The sweet table is no exception. The cake at such a grand wedding simply has to match it in scale.

And now about specific numbers:

• A wedding cake for 15 people and a wedding cake for 20 people should weigh between 3 and 5 kg.
• Wedding cake for 25-35 people 5-6 kg.
• Wedding cake for 40-50 people 6-7 kg.
• Wedding cake for 60-70 people 8-9 kg.
• Wedding cake for 80 people and more from 10 kg.

Due to the fact that most weddings taking place according to our national traditions involve an impressive number of guests, many couples think about how much it will cost them to buy a large wedding cake. There is no point in hiding the fact that a good and beautifully decorated wedding dessert will not be cheap. Its cost will be made up not only of the ingredients included in the main recipe. This will include the costs of design, decoration and decoration.

Is it possible to save money on a cake without compromising its quality and appearance? If you know about some life hacks, then this is quite possible.

1. Decor made by hand is always much more expensive. If you want the cake to be decorated in an original and beautiful way and at the same time on a budget, give preference to fresh fruits and berries;
2. Small decor is more expensive than large decor, so choose large flowers and other elements;
3. Informal cakes are significantly more expensive than similar desserts made in the traditional version. Do you want to be original? You will have to pay for this. But, if avant-garde and shocking are not for you, give preference to a round, rectangular or square dessert in a classic design. Among other things, traditional cake shapes are quite practical. It is convenient to cut them into equal portions, doing it quickly and accurately.

The selection of wedding cakes in our online confectionery is rich and varied. If you, like all our clients, are blindsided by the assortment of sweets, we will help you make a choice.

• A couple's wedding, organized during the hot months, can become a real test of strength not only for the newlyweds, but also for everyone present at the celebration. An original wedding ice cream cake or a refreshing mint-lemon pie can reduce the temperature of the scorching sun.
• When choosing your cake filling, don't get too creative. Especially if many guests are invited to your celebration, including elderly people. The conservatism of previous generations may not accept your exotic delights. Thus, there is a high risk that the cake will not make a completely favorable impression. In the case of a wedding menu, including the dessert menu, it is better to give preference to classics and well-tested recipes.
• Sponge dough for a wedding cake is considered the most win-win option. It's fluffy, light and melts in your mouth. In addition, sponge cake is an excellent and very rewarding base, both for all kinds of fillings and for impregnations.
• A multi-tiered cake, each floor of which is filled with different layers and fillings - this is interesting option. However, at a wedding, guests do not always have the opportunity to find out what each of the tiers consists of and independently choose the piece they like.
• Choose a wedding cake that won't be too heavy to digest. Feasts, where the calorie content of each dish literally goes off scale, remind you of themselves the next day with serious consequences for the body. Therefore, give preference to dessert, not with butter, but with yogurt cream and fruit. Also avoid cakes based on meringue, puff pastry and shortbread. Firstly, these are the hardest cakes for the stomach, and secondly, they all crumble very quickly and there is a chance that the dessert will lose its appearance, very high.

Cake is an obligatory attribute of a wedding celebration, the culmination of a banquet, an always welcome and expected delicacy that invited guests are waiting for and will definitely want to try. And since there are many guests at weddings, it is difficult to guess the right size so that everyone has enough to not only try, but also get enough of. If there is too much cake, this can lead to unnecessary expenses and damage to the product, which will have nowhere to be stored for a long time after the wedding. Therefore, it is important to correctly calculate the size of the cake. Fortunately, there are many techniques for this.

What should you consider when calculating the weight of a cake?

The size of the cake can be calculated in different ways:

1. Experienced confectionery shops can calculate the required size of the product themselves, based on the number of guests and your wishes.
2. Wedding planners hired professionally can focus on the proportions of food given to the number of guests.
3. You can calculate the weight yourself.

In the first two cases, you should trust specialists who truly understand this issue. If you are not confident in them, then it is better to rely on yourself, because you know the invited guests and your financial capabilities better. Chefs should check the ratio of the volume of the cake to its weight, calorie content and composition. Organizers can help estimate the demand for dessert at the time it is served, which also influences the quantity required. The rest of the calculations will help you make special tables and calculators to calculate the weight of the wedding confectionery.

Number of people invited

The cake is ordered based on the number of guests. However, there are some nuances that need to be taken into account:

• Not all invitees eat sweets for health reasons. Do not take them into account when determining the required weight.
• Cake auction. A tradition at weddings is an auction, where the lot is a portion of the wedding cake. If you sell servings of dessert to guests without fail, then those who do not eat sweets will still receive it (having respected the young people with money for the auction lot). If the entire cake is sold out, it will be difficult to regulate how many pieces will be consumed, because guests may either not buy a single one or buy up everything in order to help the newlyweds financially.
• Personal stock. You shouldn’t order a cake just for a wedding celebration; let some be left over for the next day, when desserts are especially in demand and the newlyweds want to eat a few pieces in a relaxed atmosphere.
• Home delivery. The newlyweds can give some of the cake to their guests. If this is provided, then it is worth ordering a product that weighs a little more than necessary.

Calorie content of cooked dishes

When determining the size and calorie content of a dessert, the nature of the holiday menu also matters:

• If the dinner event is small (wedding buffet), there should be more than 1 piece of dessert, because the cake itself will be the main treat of the sweet table.
• If the event involves a wide menu with a change of dishes and a long celebration, then there may be little dessert, 100 g per person will be enough, since the guests will already be full by the time it is served.
• If the menu is wide, but not high in calories, then there may be more sweets than 1 piece per person.
• If the cake is airy, but not heavy, then it may be more than normal.
• If the cakes are heavy and high in calories, then the pieces may be smaller or one standard cake will be enough.

Table for calculating the weight of the cake for the number of people

Once you have taken into account the number of guests and other important organizational aspects, using the table below, you can calculate the amount of cake by weight and determine the approximate number of tiers. Please note that the number of tiers is indicated based on the fact that the cakes will be of average density and not very airy. An airy cake can have 1.5-2 times more tiers, its capacity for each guest will also be larger, but it will be more difficult to get enough of such a treat.

If there are more guests, then the dessert should be proportionally larger, with the calculation of 1 kilogram (100 gram piece) per ten guests, plus 1-2 kg additionally. How more people, the more there should be an “addition” - these are additives for the guests, which can be sold in the lottery or kept by the newlyweds for themselves.

An “allowance” of 1 kg for 10 people will allow you to distribute the delicacy to your guests at home after the wedding, which will definitely please them. If the pieces are planned to be 150 g, then such calculations will not take into account additives and extra portions. The video will help you learn more about the rules for calculating wedding dessert:

Wedding cake weight calculator

A convenient tool for calculating the amount of cake for a wedding is an online calculator. It is easy to use, and also takes into account such nuances as cake sales and the number of people who do not eat sweets. However, it should be understood that the results of such calculations are approximate and require taking into account the other factors listed above. To calculate correctly ideal weight dessert, do the following:

1. Enter the number of banquet participants.
2. Below, enter the number of people who don't eat sweets.
3. Evaluate the guests’ love for sweets (this parameter may be affected by the calorie content of food, cake, the nature of the guests, their tendency to eat sweets, the form of the banquet and other above-mentioned nuances). Select the appropriate one from the suggested options (“Moderately”, “Strongly”, “Do not like”).
4. Please indicate whether there is a cake auction planned.
5. Click "Calculate".

As a result, you will receive not only the approximate suitable weight of the wedding treat, but also the approximate amount that such a treat will cost. The amount is based on the average offerings among popular wedding cake companies and only represents the price range that a dessert of that size falls into. This function is very useful, because it will help determine how expensive the cake for the newlyweds will be.

A wedding cake is a special treat that brings joy and a sense of celebration. If material possibilities allow, it is better that it be calculated with a reserve in order to be able to enjoy it after the celebration. To determine how much food will be demanded at the wedding and how much will be left for the newlyweds, it is worth using special calculation tools. Taking into account the obtained indicators and additional factors, you can order the desired amount of dessert, thereby reducing costs and avoiding unpleasant situations at the celebration.
