Here is a copy of the serving chart I use, this will help you determine what size cake you need. I like to use the center column (party size) because it uses more realistic portions.

All are done as described - cut 2 inches from back side, then make slices of desired width. Only slices 2 inches in length are counted in these numbers. |
Smaller rounds cut in wedges will give different servings. |
