01
Start with the people eating cake
Use the likely number of cake eaters rather than the full invitation list. Children may take smaller portions, while a seated dessert course often calls for larger slices.
- Count adults and children separately.
- Note whether a full meal or dessert table comes first.
- Allow a small buffer when cake is the main dessert.
02
Party slices and dessert portions
A smaller party slice works well when cake is one part of a larger spread. A larger dessert portion suits a meal where the cake is the final course. Cake height, richness and shape affect how neatly each portion can be cut.
