How many servings does a party cake give
A 6-inch round serves 8-10, an 8-inch serves 14-18 and a 10-inch serves 24-30 coffee portions. Tiered cakes are cut differently: a two-tier 6-inch and 8-inch cake serves about 30 guests when the top tier is kept for the family.
How do you cut a round cake into even portions?
Cut a circle about 5 cm from the edge, then slice the outer ring into wedges and the inner circle into squares. This gives rectangular slices that stack neatly on plates.
How much cake per guest should you plan?
One coffee-portion slice per guest plus 10% extra covers second helpings. If cake is the only dessert, add half a portion per guest.
