How many people will a 10" round serve? Two. Just two. (If it's chocolate and they're female and PMS'ing!!!) Laughing

"Just hand me a fork, mom."

Reminds me of the time (and I've told this story before) that my daughter and I had a big chocolate craving. Found a choc cake mix in the pantry. Baked a single layer 10" cake. Didn't even ice it. Grabbed 2 forks, plopped on the couch and ate it right out of the pan.

Ha ha ha, my son doesn't even need a fork! And on the PMS topic you are so right.

edited to add: I don't want to hijack the thread, but I had a roommate who was standing at the counter at CVS waiting to pay for a box of tampons, some Midol and a big bag of M&Ms. She said the lady in line behind her tapped her on the shoulder and said "I know exactly how you feel, dear."

Here's a question for you...I was just looking at some serving and cutting guides. The wedding servings were 1x2x4 and party were 2x2x4. If I'm making a cake that is just a celebration cake (not wedding) should I charge them based on 2x2x4" servings? For example, a 12" round will serve 56 wedding pieces and 28 party pieces. If I'm making a celebration cake at $3.00 a serving, do I charge $168 or $84? I personally think 2x2x4 is too big. Can you tell I'm new at this?


Party size is 1.5x2x4 for a two layer cake, and 2x2x4 for a single layer. So yes, 2x2x4 is too big and you're shortchanging yourself! Smile

I use the 1x2x4 serving size as well.

TexasRose - I love the idea of having a piece of wood cut to that size.

Here is an excellent example of serving sizes:

I made some just like these, but out of a giant yellow carwash sponge and craft paint.
