Cake Sizing Guide & Price Guide

To work out the cake sizing for your requirements. The number of servings will depend on the number of guests and whether you are serving a coffee serve or a dessert serve.

A dessert serve is approximately 3 inches by 1 inch and is used if you are serving the cake as a dessert. A coffee serve is approximately 1.5 inches by 1 inch.

This is common for weddings and other functions where the cake slice is meant only as a taste.

The table below is of the number of cake servings you might expect from different sized cakes.

This is only a guide the actual number of serves will depend on the way the cake is cut at the venue.

  • Just thought I’d drop you a little line to thank you for the last minute ‘ornaments’ you made me for Christmas.

    All three of them absolutely LOVED them. My mum was so impressed with hers (she’s about to turn 90 so was excited to know she could still eat the goodies inside as her dentures are not particularly easy lol) and the girls were amazed at you work on their beach and steam punk ones (although they didn’t last long!) So thanks again.

    Thought you’d like to hear some very impressed and delighted feedback.

  • Hi Paula Thanks for your input to our Wedding.  The cake was fantastic, thank you.  Everyone has given us both raving comments.  The cake did not last 2 days as most was eaten at the wedding.

  • Rons Retirement Cake

    Everyone was blown away by the cake they did not want to cut it as they were too busy admiring it. – Cake was incredible it looked better than expected and the man on top was so like the person it just ticked all the boxes on so many levels. -The individual the cake was for (Ron), was absolutely impressed with the snail, backpack and sign, they just hit the spot beautifully.
