Cake sizes & servings
Cake sizes and servings: how big a cake do you need?
Use this as a guide to match a cake to your guest count. The numbers below are typical for our custom cakes in Pristina; the exact servings depend on the design and how the cake is cut, so when you order we size it precisely to your final guest count.
| Cake | Servings | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Single 8-inch tier | About 24 servings | Family birthdays and small gatherings |
| Two-tier cake | 40 to 60 servings | Engagements, larger birthdays, small weddings |
| Three-tier cake | 80 to 120 servings | Weddings and big celebrations |
| Four-tier and custom | 120+ servings | Large weddings and events, sized to your guest count |
Serving counts assume standard dessert portions. Smaller coffee-sized slices serve a few more per tier.
Count your guests
Start with the number of people who will actually eat cake, which is usually a little below the full guest list at a wedding.
Pick the tiers
Match the guest count to the table above. Each tier can be a different flavour, so a larger cake also gives you more variety.

Servings questions
How many people does a two-tier cake serve?
Roughly 40 to 60, depending on portion size and design. For a sit-down dessert portion expect the lower end; for smaller coffee-sized slices, the higher end.
How many servings do I need for 100 guests?
A three-tier cake covers about 80 to 120 servings, so it suits most gatherings of around 100. For an exact match we size the cake to your final guest count.
What size cake do I need for a small birthday?
A single 8-inch tier serves about 24, which suits most family birthdays. For just a few people we can make a smaller round.
Can a tiered cake have different flavours on each tier?
Yes. Each tier can have its own flavour and filling, so you can offer guests more than one option on the same cake.
