I'm sure this question has been asked before but I'm reading that an 8" will serve 20 people!?? Maybe we are pigs but an 8" around our house feeds about 10 at most. I'm making a cake for a baby shower for 25 people and was thinking that i needed more than an 8" and 6" and thats 4 in high teirs. Do most people really only cut tiny pieces of cake? I dont' want to make too much, but I also don't want to leave them without enough if they plan on having normal size slices....Thanks for the help!
A1x2x4 slice of cake is a decent size slice of cake. If there will be no other food at the party, I'd consider 1.5-2 servings per person. Try slicing your cake into rectangular servings rather than wedges, and you'll get those servings out of your cakes more easily. An 8" serves 24.
I used to always worry about this, so when I first started making cakes I would always ask the recipient if they thought the servings were adequate and almost always they said they had more than enough. The key is educating them how to cut the cake. Think about it...a 2"x2" of sheet cake is the normal size....1" x2" of a 4" high cake is the same amount served.
