Wedding Cake Portion Guide

Wedding fruitcake is traditionally served in one-inch square pieces and the table below gives a rough guide to the number of servings each will give. As you can see, oval cakes give the least number of portions, whilst square cakes not only give the highest number, but have the added bonus of being much easier to cut.

	6 inch	8 inch	10 inch	12 inch
Oval	15-20	30-35	45-55	65-80
Petal	20-25	40-45	60-70	90-105
Round	25-30	40-50	65-80	95-115
Hexagon	25-30	45-55	70-85	105-125
Square	30-35	55-65	85-100	125-145

The table above gives portion estimations for fruitcake - lighter sponge cakes will normally give you half the number of portions shown above.
