Cake size and portions guide

I have created this cake cutting guide to help you when deciding on the size of the cake. 

This guide is based on a dessert portion sized 1" by 2". However, you may wish to have bigger party portions of 2" by 2" or smaller coffee portions of 1" by 1". I find that the dessert portions are ultimately the most convenient serving size. Normally the height of each slice for a standard cake measures 3"-5". If you choose to have a tall cake (6" and above) you can cut each slice in half horizontally and therefore double the number of servings. Please note that the final number of portions will depend on how precisely you cut the cake. To achieve a clean and accurate cutting I recommend using a warm sharp knife.
