That'd be a lot of Flourless Chocolate Cake, Anne! While we think a wedding crowd would absolutely love this dessert, it doesn't lend itself to stacking or layering like a traditional wedding cake. (It tends to sink slightly in the middle and each layer is quite heavy — it might end up compressing the bottom layers a bit.) You might instead try encouraging your daughter to have a more traditional cake for a "presentation" cake if she's looking to have something that's taller and tiered. Then, you could serve a handful of large Flourless Chocolate Cakes that are pre-sliced into small wedges, dusted with confectioner's sugar or cocoa and raspberries. A 10" cake pan could fit about 1.5x the batter, which might be a good place to start for wedding-worthy cakes. You may need to bake the cake for 30 to 35 minutes in order to get it to bake all the way through. These cakes look quite elegant on a wedding buffet, and we think they'd complete the spread nicely. We hope this helps, and congratulations to your daughter! Kye@KAF
