Knowing the cake sizes aids in precise cake core calculation. In this article, Mytour presents you with all the information related to cake sizes.
I. Modern Cake Sizes
1. Modern Single-Layer Cake Size
In recent years, the cake market has undergone significant changes with the introduction of new European cake designs. Especially, the younger generation is fond of modern cake styles for their beauty and sophistication. Here is a table of the most popular modern cake sizes today.
- Cake Height: 19-20 cm (including frosting)
- Cake Diameter: 14/16/18/20/22/24 cm (including frosting)
For modern cake varieties, the process of making the cake base is relatively straightforward, as they are separated into two distinct layers and held together by a layer of frosting in between. Modern cakes are a prevailing trend in bakeries and among the younger demographic. Typically, the main sizes used are 14 cm in diameter (6-8 servings) and 20 cm (14-16 servings).
2. Modern Two-Tier Cake Size
Similar to a single-layer cake, a two-tier cake is simply two cakes with different diameters stacked on top of each other. Additionally, the height of the cake remains consistent.
- Cake height: Tier 1 - 18 cm, Tier 2 – 18 cm
- Cake diameter: 14/ 16/ 18/ 20/ 22/ 24 cm (Tier 1 larger than Tier 2)
II. Traditional cake sizes
1. Traditional single-layer cake sizes
Although traditional cakes have been overshadowed by modern cake designs, they still hold a certain charm. Traditional cakes remain indispensable in events such as weddings and birthdays. The main distinction between traditional and modern cakes lies in the shorter height of traditional cakes.
- Cake height: 10-12 cm (including frosting)
- Cake diameter: 16/ 18/ 20/ 22/ 24 cm (including frosting)
2. Traditional two-tier cake sizes
Similar to a single-layer cake, traditional two-tier cakes maintain a similar size. However, the first-tier cake will be larger than the second-tier, either by one size or two. Below are the dimensions of traditional two-tier cakes:
- Cake height: Tier 1 - 11 cm, Tier 2 – 11 cm
- Cake diameter: 16/ 18/ 20/ 22/ 24 cm (Tier 1 larger than Tier 2)
