Serving Sizes
We "cakers and bakers" consider a serving to be about 1"x2". Filled cake layers are generally 3.5"-4" tall. Get a tape measure to get an idea of this size. When you receive your Sugar Buzz! cake, you will also get a diagram showing how to slice the cake to get the proper number of servings. Here's how many servings are in several common cake sizes:
round servings hexagon servings square servings rectangle servings
6" 12 6" 12 6" 18 7"x11" 32
8" 24 9" 26 8" 32 9"x13" 50
10" 38 12" 40 10" 50 11"x15" 74
12" 56 15" 70 12" 72 12"x18" 98
14" 78 14" 98
Please think about your party guests. Will they be served food other than cake? Do they eat like they are "on a diet" or like they are on a football team? Are they shy about getting seconds? Are you expecting a lot of hungry teenagers or a lot of small children? This information will determine how much cake you need.
