How much cake do you need? A guide by guest count
Our recommended-weight table for any guest count, from 2 to 100.
The basic rule: 130–150 g per person
The simplest rule to estimate how much cake you need is to count 130–150 g per guest. For a generous dessert portion, go toward the upper limit.
If the cake is served after a hearty meal or you have other sweets, you can choose a slightly smaller size.
