how many portions

The best way to decide on the size of your cake is to work out how many portions will be required for the event. This information is also helpful for the venue so they know how many portions need to be cut for the guests from the cake. Use our cakeculator tool to help!

Rich fruit cakes are traditionally cut into pieces measuring 1 inch x 1 inch, whilst sponge cake portions are usually larger, about 2 inch x 1inch. This means a sponge cake cuts into fewer portions than a similar sized fruit cake.

Shapes such as ovals, hearts and hexagons will give roughly the same number of portions as a round cake of the same size. Bear in mind that square cakes are easier to cut into rows of neat and tidy portions than round cakes! See our tips on cutting fruit cake.
