Cake Portion Guide


When planning a cake it is really important to consider how many people you want it to feed and what size portions you want people to receive.

If it is a tiered cake also be aware of balance, eg. A 12”, 10” and 8” cake will look like the top tier is missing and needs a 6” tier on top to balance it.

I also offer a cutting cake option to help your money go further.

Cutting cakes are the same cake, filling, ganache and sugarpaste but with no decoration. They are designed to make you cake go further without having as many tiers, therefore keeping the cost down. Cutting cakes start at £50. They must be the same flavour as one of your other tiers and can only be purchased with another decorated cake of the same size or larger.


Here is a guide to help you make that choice:
