Hello
I have a cake to do for this weekend. There will be 20 people at the party. I was going to do the wonder mold and a 20" round. Will this be enough? it's for a 3 year old's bday party.
thanks

Wow! That will be WAY more than enough cake for 20 people. I use this as my serving guide, it is bigger serving sizes than most people use.

oops! I mean a 12" round....oh geez...i am sorry!
Haha leah_s! But I agree that it's a good size piece of cake. Any more and they will more then likely not finish it. Too much of a good thing isn't a good thing. less is more... When you have a little of something and like it you want more(want not need) and are bound to savor every bite and talk it up.
Where as when you serve big pieces those last few bites tend to get way to sweet and lead to people saying something unkind about the cake- like it's just too sweet I can't bare another bite.
Though I have seen some discrepancy on serving sizes in the Wilton charts with the small round sizes.
Their cutting guide suggests 40 peices of cake from a 10" and their baking serving guide suggest 38 pieces from a 10" so things are always going to have some give and take.
