The cake is the last thing you order — but the first thing everyone remembers
When planning a wedding, most couples secure their venue, dress, and photographer months in advance.
But the wedding cake — the centrepiece that gets photographed, shared, and remembered — is often left too late.
At Avalynn Cakes, a premium cake studio in Penang, we see this happen all the time.
By the time couples reach out, the best dates are already fully booked.
So here’s a complete guide to help you plan your wedding cake in Penang the right way — from timing and design to flavours, sizing, and pricing.

Important: How we structure tier cakes (what most people don’t know)
For tiered wedding cakes, structure and stability are extremely important — especially in Penang’s warm climate.
At Avalynn Cakes, we recommend:
👉 Bottom tiers should always be dense cakes for better support and clean slicing.
This means:
- Moist Chocolate or
- Butter Cake (Vanilla base)
are strongly recommended for the bottom tier.
Lighter sponge flavours (like lychee rose or fresh fruits) are better suited for:
- Top tiers
- Smaller cakes
- Non-structural layers
This ensures:
- Better stability during setup
- Cleaner presentation
- Consistent texture when serving
How many guests can your cake serve?
For wedding cakes in Penang, servings depend on how the cake is used.
As full dessert portions:
- 6” → 8–10 pax
- 8” → 16–20 pax
- 10” → 30–40 pax
- 3-tier cake → ~55–70 pax
As ceremonial slices (with dessert table):
You can serve up to 1.5x more guests with smaller portions.
For large weddings (150–300 guests), we often recommend:
- A display tier cake for cutting and photos
- Additional kitchen cakes for serving
