Cake sizes and servings per cake guidelines
Pound Cakes | Layer Cakes | Wedding Cakes
The guidelines below are what we have found to be a good general aid for new customers in determining the size cake you will need.  Only you can judge how much your family and friends eat so adjust accordingly.  Often you can get more servings per cake than quoted here.
Wedding Cakes - Serves 5 people to the pound so for example if you have 100 guests you need a 20 lb. cake.  If you wish to reserve the top tier for the couple to take home add 2-3 pounds to the total.  Top tiers are typically 6" to 8" in size and 1.5 to 3 lbs.
Pound Cakes Round - Sold by the pound i.e. 2 lb., 3 lb, etc.
Sheets - Quarter, Half, Full, 75, Double
Layer Cakes - Sold by the size i.e. 8", 9", etc.
Cake size - approximate servings yield
2 lb. - 8"  |  8 - 10 servings
3 lb. - 9"  |  12 - 15 servings
4 lb. - 10"  |  16 - 20 sevings
5 lb. - 12"  |  20 - 25 servings
