How big is a serving of cake?
In our research, we have found bakers claiming to get anywhere from 45-72 servings out of a 12″ cake tier. Magpies cake tiers are constructed of four layers of cake filled with three layers of buttercream or filling, and when finished are 4 “- 5″ tall. A wedding serving is smaller than a birthday cake serving. We work with this general rule- the height of the cake (usually 5?) by 2″ deep by ” wide. This is roughly 6 – 8 bites. An experienced caterer will be able to get exactly the number of servings you need out of your cake, but we do plan generously.
