Question 1

What is a standard cake serving size?

Accepted Answer

A party serving is typically 2" x 2" x 4" tall. Wedding servings are smaller at 1" x 2" x 4". Generous dessert portions run about 2" x 3" x 4".

Question 2

How many servings in a 10-inch round cake?

Accepted Answer

A 10-inch round, 2-layer cake yields roughly 28-38 party servings or up to 56-78 wedding-size servings, depending on how it is cut.

Question 3

Does the number of layers matter?

Accepted Answer

Yes. More layers means a taller cake. Since servings are typically cut to about 4 inches tall, very thin single-layer cakes yield fewer total servings than a standard 2-layer cake.
