Cake Cutting Portion Guidelines
A unique cake is, by its nature, often non-standard. Therefore the following table is intended only as an indication of tier-size vs. number of feeds. Correct sizing of the tiers is carefully determined according to the needs of the commission, during the detailed design process.
From intimate to very-large weddings, many creative options are available to increase (or decrease) the number of portions available whilst maintaining the overall look, feel and stature of the cake.
For generous dessert portioning, we recommend square-cutting our cakes at 1” x 2”. For smaller portioning, i.e. when serving with coffee (or for fruit cakes) we recommend cutting 1” x 1”:
| Round | Square | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|

During the handover on the event day, we carefully explain the correct cutting procedure to the responsible person at the venue and supply a printed cutting guide.
