A special event like a wedding, birthday, anniversary, or other occasion calls for a customized cake to celebrate the big day. Besides choosing the flavor, icing color, toppings, and inscription, you will also need to decide which size cake to order. Obviously, you’ll need to know how many guests to expect, but there are other factors to consider when choosing your cake size.

Below are three valuable tips to keep in mind before you order your specialized cake:

  • Choose the Size of Cake Slices: It stands to reason your cake will serve more people if the slices are on the thin size or less than an inch thick. However, if your affair is more casual, or if you want to treat your guests to a little extra, you may choose to have the slices cut about two inches thick. You may also wish to have smaller slices served to children. Whatever you decide, convey your decision to the staff at your venue or whoever will be slicing and serving your cake. If the slices are cut thicker than you planned for, you may run out before all guests are served.
  • cakesDecide Whether to Serve Seconds: When choosing a cake size, it’s important to know in advance whether you will invite your guests to enjoy a second piece. As with the cake slice size, you will want to communicate with the person serving your cake to make sure everyone has had at least one piece of cake before seconds are offered.
  • Consult With Your Baker: Ask the restaurant or baker who will make your cake for a size chart. Typically, the chart will show the size you should order for the number of servings and slice size you want. You may want to look at samples of cakes on display, if they are available, to have a visual representation of the size your own cake will be.
