Cake sizing & serving

How much cake do you need?

We count servings as 2″ × 1″ dessert portions – the way caterers cut celebration cakes. Our cakes are around 5–6 inches tall with four layers, so a “small” piece is still a proper slice.

Cutting maps

2″ × 1″ portions by cake size

Each map shows 1″ strips cut into 2″ pieces. Counts are a guide – how you cut and how hungry your guests are will move the number a little either way.

Cutting guide

How to cut neat portions

1
1″

Stand a board against the cake

Rest a cutting board (or a long knife) flat against one side and cut a straight strip about 1″ wide, right across the cake.

2
2″

Lay the strip down & portion it

Lay the strip on its side on your board and cut it into 2″ pieces. Each piece is a dessert portion with every layer in it.

3

Repeat across the cake

Keep cutting 1″ strips from the same side, working across. Equal strips mean equal portions and nobody gets the sliver.

4

Tall cake? Halve the height

Our cakes are extra tall, so each portion can be cut again through the middle for smaller, kid-sized pieces – doubling the count.

Cake care

From our kitchen to your table

Carry from the bottom

Lift the box with both hands underneath, never by the sides or the lid.

Keep it level

Flat at all times – in the car, in the fridge and on display. The car floor beats a seat or a lap.

Cool car

Air-con on, out of the sun. Buttercream softens quickly above 24 °C.

Into the fridge

Refrigerate in its box as soon as you're home, until an hour or two before serving.

Bring to room temperature

Take it out about 1 hour before serving on a cool day, 30 minutes on a hot one. Cold cake hides flavour.

Sturdy stand

Use a flat, stable stand at least an inch wider than the cake board.

Leftovers

Airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days, or freeze slices for up to a month.
