I can't imagine a slice of cake being much smaller than a Wilton wedding slice.
Believe it.
I wouldn't want a piece of cake any bigger than a Wilton wedding. But I'll put away the biggest steak you want to put in front of me AND the potato. Wilton wedding size has always worked for me; personally and when selling. Unless I don't know about it, I have never not even once had someone say my servings were too small.
I don't necessarily see it as being able to afford or have disposable income... that is the case for all of our clients when they all have ovens at home. They are paying for the ability to do what we do, and they simply cannot do. Or won't take the time to do and choose to spend their money in that manner. To which I'm grateful in many respects.
I wouldn't pay 15 bux for a cupcake, I'd fire up my oven first. But everyone doesn't have the same skillset.
But the amount one can afford makes the difference between a Walmart cake and an expensive designer cake. In my family no one baked cakes and whenever we needed one we went to the best and biggest bakery in town, it's still there and it opened in 1952.

For a normal dessert I would. A Wilton Wedding slice would be like 3 bites for me, so I would need a piece that is at least 3 times that big, but I love desserts. When you are at a wedding you don't really notice how small the pieces are, you are busy dancing and having fun, and some wedding offer other desserts too.

But isn't the smaller serving size usually for the rich fruit cakes? If you ate a 1"x2"x4" piece of that it might be a lot!

Its supposed to be a 1x1 for fruit cake and a 1x2 for sponge but a lot of venues dont go by that and cut all cakes into finger portions, leaving lots of left over cake. I've found that myself and heard from other decorators as well so I think its becoming more of a trend.

The venues here cut cake really small too, depending on how many people they think will eat cake. I asked one guy and he said they start on the small side, then get larger if fewer people are coming up to get cake. That's why I use a serving range instead of saying that one cake will serve a definite number. You have no control over how people cut the cake. It's also a contributing factor to why you only need about 80% of the number of guests for the number of cake servings. From the venue coordinators who I talk to, if you get 100% of the guest count for cake servings there's ALWAYS cake left over. The "always" is their word, not mine.
Just a quick reply to those who asked - no, the cake is not yet available for publication, as I am awaiting the professional photos from the events photographer. It was not Jacqui's cake.
And no - it was not a 9" round! It was a large cake, part real, part styro. It supplied more cake than needed, but I was simply making the point earlier that if you were looking at it 'per guest' it would have worked out at $100 per guest.
