Choosing the wrong cake size is one of the most common, and most avoidable, party planning mistakes. Order too small and you run out of cake in front of your guests. Order too large and you are left storing a cake meant for eighty when eighteen people showed up.
According to Wilton's official cake serving chart, a 6-inch round yields 12 servings either way, an 8-inch yields 20 party servings or 24 wedding servings, a 10-inch yields 28 party or 38 wedding, and a 12-inch yields 40 party or 56 wedding. Sheet cakes are less standardized: as the foodservice supplier WebstaurantStore notes in its sheet cake sizing guide, there is no single industry standard sheet cake size, so bakeries vary somewhat in dimensions and serving counts.
