I have a cake order, but the customer doesn't know how big the cake should be. She is looking to serve 25 - 30 people. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what size round cake she should get? Also can anyone tell me how to figure out how many servings each size will provide?
Thanks
Hi a 10 inch round would give around 25 serves (2inches by 2 inches by the height of the cake) or around 35 smallers serves (1 inch by 1 inch x the height of the cake).
You could do an 8 inch with a 6 inch on top. That would serve around 32 or. (the 1 inch size).
Hope that gives you some ideas.

I think it depends on the occasion. A birthday cake serving for some reason, is bigger than a wedding cake serving. I'm trying to imagine most people being satisfied with a 1 inch or even a 2 inche piece of cake! I can just see some kids faces - like, "that's it?" LOL
Of course, adults usually take smaller portions unless they are guys - they ALWAYS take larger pieces.
I just made a double 12 inch for about 25-30 people for a meeting (including lots of kids/teens) and there wasn't a heck of a lot left.
