How to choose the right size celebration cake

The question we hear most at the counter is simple: how much cake do I need? Here is the rule of thumb we use for every order.

Portions at a glance

• 6-inch round: 8 to 10 dessert slices
• 8-inch round: 14 to 18 slices
• 10-inch round: 24 to 30 slices
• Two tiers (6 + 8): 25 to 30 slices

How far ahead to order

Single-tier cakes need 48 hours. Tiered and sculpted cakes need two weeks, and wedding cakes are best booked a few months out so we can plan a tasting.

If you are torn between two sizes, go bigger. Nobody has ever complained about leftover cake.
