Will This Be Enough Serving For 30 Guest's
Decorating By sweettreat101 Updated 15 Jun 2011 , 3:32pm by kristiemarie
I have a lady who initially wanted a really small cake to serve 15 now she needs it to feed 30. Would a 9 and 6 inch be enough to serve this amount? I know people don't usually cut tiny pieces. I had a friend order a cake last weekend and said that she didn't have enough for all her guest's. I made a 10 inch round with a dozen cupcakes around the graduation cap. Can anyone tell me the amount of servings for a 10 inch cake and a 12 inch cake. I thought the dozen cupcakes would make up the difference between the 10 and 12 inch cake. Thank you.
This chart should give you the answer you're looking for:

Use the Wilton serving chart for 'wedding cakes' to determine # of servings for **any and every** 4" tall cake.
A 10x4" round will serve 38; so that cake should have yielded 50 servings.
A 9x4" round will serve 32
A 12x4" round yields 56
If you are giving them a 2" cake the # of servings is cut in 1/2.
Now you can't be there and watch each customer to make sure they cut it *just right*, but you can show them a sample of the serving size. Cut a piece of wood or styro in the serving size of 1x2x4. You can also a 2x2x2 cube. They give **exactly** the same amount of cake - just cut differetly.
Tell customer this (show sample) is what you base the 'yield' and pricing on and if they want to cut bigger slices then they need to order a bigger cake.
I am working on a sheet to give to my customers explaining how to cut the cake to get the correct size and number of servings. You might want to consider!
