I am using Earline's Cake Serving Chart. Those of you who also use this guide, what serving size dimensions do you tell customers each serving to be? Example 4" by 2" by 1". Thanks!

If my cake were 5 1/2 - 5 3/4 inches tall, how would you adjust the proportions? Two layers weren't quite 4 inches tall, so I decided to add another layer, making the cake very tall, but I thought it looked very nice that way. It's just hard visualizing getting so many servings out of what seems to be not enough. I fear not having enough servings, but I don't want to go way over board. What to do? I did a 1/2 sheet, 12" by 18", german choc. cake a while back. I probably should have torted a single layer, but I decided to do double layer, so it was 4 inches tall. Should I have only done a single layer for 50 servings?
