Wedding Cake Portion Guide

There are two portion sizes we use as standard when referring to wedding cake servings, the first is a dessert portion of 2” x 1” x height of cake slices, which is an ample and generous size.
Top tip: Save some of your budget and think about having a two course sit down meal and then incorporating the wedding cake as your dessert.
This serving size would be perfect for this idea, especially if you serve with ice-cream, fresh cream or a fruit coulis.
If you are planning on serving the cake after a three course sit down meal, you may be happy for your guests to have smaller finger slices with their coffees, in which case a finger coffee slice of 1”x 1”x height of cake may be the right size for your guests.
The finger slice is the classic 'wedding' portion and is the usual size to serve your guests, it is 1”x 1”x height of tier, a dessert portion is 2"x 1" x height of tier. At Let Them Eat Cakes we mostly offer two heights of cake :- classic rise 4" tall (2 layers of cake, with one layer of filling) or tall-rise 6" tall (3 layers of cake with 2 layers of filling). Be sure to let the caterers, venue, or who ever is cutting your cake what size you have chosen for your guests.
