Remember when your mum used to cut up a cake or dessert for you to eat and she'd cut those big wedge shaped slices? While that serving style is great for dessert at home, for an event there's actually a different way that we cut the cake which is not only easy but will maximise the number of slices you'll get from your cake.
Traditionally for an event, you'll either serve coffee sized portions or dessert sized portions. A coffee sized portion is a 1 inch x 1 inch x 4 inch finger portion of cake while a dessert sized portion is double, so a 1 inch x 2 inch x 4 inch slice. The height of cakes has changed over the years and you'll notice now that most cakes are taller than 4 inches but regardless the way you cut the cake will remain the same. When people come to collect their cake from me, the first thing they worry about is transporting it home or to the venue safely (we'll cover that in another post) and the next thing they worry about is how on earth to cut it. The diagram below takes all the guess work out for you. Save it for your next event!
