Which cake size do I get?

The cake size comes down to the number of guests and the type of event you're planning to have. There are two different portion sizes available:

Coffee Portions - for weddings/ parties that require you to converse and eat cake at the same time.

Dessert Portions - for sit down meals and/or if the cake will be the main dessert of the event.

From this, decide the approximate number of portions you'll need +5 portions (just in case you forget to include yourself and if your guests want a second serve).

How to use the chart:

• Decide how cake will be served (coffee vs dessert).
• Estimate how many guests will actually take cake: 60–70% after a full meal; 70–85% for cocktail/standing events.
• Pick a single tier or tier combo that meets or slightly exceeds the number you need.
• Add a small buffer: +5 serves for seconds and “I forgot to include myself.”

Quick picks (most common):

• 25–30 guests (cake is dessert): 8" single (24 dessert) if you want it tight, or 5"+7" (36 dessert) for breathing room.
• 40–50 guests (party nibble): 6"+8" (88 coffee) covers generous cutting.
• 70–80 guests (cake as dessert): 6"+8" two-tier (88 dessert).
• 100 guests (full dinner, coffee-size): 6"+8"+10" (≈148–152 coffee) or 11" Single Tier (50 dessert portions/100 coffee sized portions).
• Need more serves without changing the display? Add a simple kitchen cutting cake behind the scenes.

Little details that help on the day:

I provide a printed cutting & care guide with every cake; your venue can follow it for neat, consistent slices.

Not sure which option fits?

Tell me your date, guest count, and whether cake is dessert or a nibble. I’ll recommend the perfect tier combination.
