Sizes and Serving


"How big are your cakes and how do I cut it up ? "

This is a great question, and often ask so... 
Each cake has a recommended "serves" on the size option of the cake info / section page. 
However, please use this is a guide, because it really depends on you, and how generous you are with your portions. - Cut it smaller and get more pieces or be generous - serve less. 

We have measured the serves as "party size" serves.... which means - not a large dessert slice served on a plate in a cafe,  but not as small as you would get at a wedding in those little bags. 
In-between... like you would eat with your fingers with a serviette at a party.

We'll supply you with a QR code with a link to a "How to cut up your cake" video. You'll impress your guest with your newfound skills, to cut up your cake like a boss!!!

Cake sizes 
diameter & height 

Most of our cakes are tall, with four layers of delicious cake and three layers of smooth, velvety filling.
However, there's always the exception, as there's some of our cakes designs have only two or three layers of cake - therefore, service less. 

The height of each cake is always written in the drop-down "description"  section on the cake info / section page.
The height below is before we add any of the decorations, so they can be quite tall. 

We highly recommend to come in to our store, say hi, and see the cakes sizes, designs in real life -  pulling out a ruler and trying to imagine the size really doesn't give a true indication of what you get. 
(as we are made to order, Friday's are the best - and busiest- day to see the biggest range we have to offer)

Serving Recommendation

As your guests will have a choice between cake, cupcakes or macarons, we recommend presenting your dessert on platters.
If it is a formal sit down event, you can still give each guest their own plate — just have the desserts displayed on platters with pretty tongs so they can help themselves.
This way , you allow your guests to select their preferred treat from the platter, rather than each person being served a single dessert.
It makes for a lovely presentation and a fun, interactive dessert moment!
