How much Cake Do I Need?
We know that figuring out how much cake to order can feel like a math exam you didn't study for. My goal is to make sure you have enough for every guest to have a "wow" moment!
Here is how we help clients navigate the world of cake sizing.
Wedding Cake slices are usually a bit smaller than the wedge you receive at a smaller gathering and measure about 2 x 1 x 4 (see first picture vs second picture)
Depending on the amount of people attending, it's good to consider how many people you would like a slice of cake for? If you're not sure, you can also consider, "Is there anyone attending that I don't need to provide cake for?" If the answer is yes, maybe because, "I have a dessert table" then designing a cake for you and your guests to see is a good approach!
If the answer is no, then it's best to ensure everyone will have at least one slice of cake.
How much cake will each size feed?
We created a guide to help couples understand what goes into the cake calculation of the kinds of cake you may need. Display cakes are cakes that get displayed for you to cut and your guests to see. These can also be used to serve some or many of your guests,
Kitchen cakes (not pictured) are sheet cakes that get minimal design and are intended for guests without having to use the display cake to serve each guest. These display cakes serves about 40 and are small square slices.
