......1/4 sheet that feeds 48 people is a mighty small piece of cake, something like 1" by 2" or 1" x 1.5" ........ IMO it is not nearly enough cake. But that's just me. "
.......I agree! Around here, a 1/4 sheet cake serves 25, 1/2 sheet serves 45-50. .......
.......To say 70 servings out of a half, makes me think that a serving is letting each guest walk up and lick the cake........
Oh my Please look again at what I said....I'm talking about **4"** high layer cakes with filling.
A serving is 1x2x4 period! THAT IS THE SAME AMOUNT OF CAKE AS A 2x2x2 cube so called party size serving. Take a piece of styro or wood cut to the two sizes to show customers. A piece of paper doesn't do it - you don't get the 3-d effect
Regarding the PP/Bettercreme/Rich's: ......"Bettercreme" or "Rich's". It comes frozen in a gallon sized carton. You let it sit 24 hrs in the fridge to defrost. Once it defrosts its like a thick milk. I whip it up in my KA and it turns into frosting.......
Even in my shop I seldom used enough to whip up a full gallon at one time. I *never* defrosted it. Just spoon out what you need and whip it up. That way you don't waste. It whips quick when it is still in it's semi-fzn state And I have fzn left-over whipped now and then - especially if I knew I would be using some like the next week.
"I just want to say that a 1/4 sheet that feeds 48 people is a mighty small piece of cake, something like 1" by 2" or 1" x 1.5" or something that small; if I remember from the last time I looked (it has been a while). I usually have a piece of paper cut to that size to show the true size of the cake. IMO it is not nearly enough cake. But that's just me. "
LindaF144a, I agree! Around here, a 1/4 sheet cake serves 25, 1/2 sheet serves 45-50.
I agree, I went to the grocery store were I grew up getting cakes from and they say 1/4 = 20 ppl, 1/2 = 40, ect - Maybe ppl in the south just really like cake, I dont want no little 1 inch piece of cake!!! and not for nothing but i really dislike the argument that a peice of cake at a restaurant is 5 bucks but then ppl freak for wedding cake... umm have ya had cake a restaurants they are big! and often feed two ppl
