Finger slices vs dessert portions
There are two ways to serve a cake. Finger slices are the slim slices handed round at a party. Dessert portions are larger, plated slices served with a fork. Each range below runs from dessert portions at the lower end to finger slices at the higher end.
How many does each size serve?
| Cake size | Serves |
|---|---|
| 6 inch | 15 to 25 |
| 8 inch | 25 to 40 |
| 10 inch | 40 to 60 |
| Two tier | 80 to 100 |
| Three tier | 100 to 150 |
Three quick tips
- Serving cake in the evening after a meal? You can size down.
- Is the cake the only dessert, or the centrepiece? Size up.
- When unsure, choose the larger size. Leftover cake is never wasted.
