Order too little cake and someone misses out; order too much and it sits in the fridge. Use this simple guide to choose the right size for your celebration.

Quick size guide

Cake size	About	Serves (party slices)	Best for
Mini cake	Small	2–4	A couple, a small surprise
500g	≈1 pound	6–8	A small family celebration
1kg	≈2 pounds	12–16	A family birthday party
1.5kg	≈3 pounds	18–24	A bigger party or office celebration

Serving numbers are a rough guide for thin party slices; plan for fewer people if you cut generous dessert portions.

How to choose

Count your guests, then pick the next size up if both children and adults are eating.
Serving other food? If there is dinner or snacks, smaller slices are fine.
Want leftovers? Go one size bigger.
More than 25 people? Order two cakes in different flavours, or call us about a two-tier cake.
