Tag: Cake cutting guide

According to professional bakers, a cake's serving size depends entirely on the event, with a wedding's "coffee portion" being significantly smaller than a birthday party's "dessert portion". Knowing what is a standard cake serving size is crucial for event planning and budget management.

According to the USDA, a standard reference serving size for cake with icing is typically around 1/12th of a 9-inch cake or about 39 grams. However, figuring out what is considered one serving of cake is not always so straightforward, as a serving can depend on the cake type, occasion, and even who is doing the cutting.
