I have a client that doesn't seem to under stand that a 12" circle or square cake will feed 30 people.  How do I explain to her is a nice way that a 12" cake will definitely feed 30 people. I'm thinking she wants to cut the cake like a pie instead of the way Wilton has showed me.

AAlso, remember that a 12"'ruler or flat piece of paper looks much smaller than a layered cake. Use photos or cake pans. I love have dummies for this exact reason.

AIs she worried she won't have enough or questioning your pricing method? You can let her know that it's the industry standard size for pricing, but if she's concerned she won't have enough cake she's welcome to order more.
