How many people will a cake with a diameter of 12 inches feed?

Question

It's a fruit cake, and will be cut into finger slices if that helps!

Answer 1

For me, it will take 3 days. lol.  

Answer 2

me and my brother. 12" is a bit on the small side for a cake.

That's the kind of thing Tesco sell with "feeds 8 " on the side of the box. Get it home and it's only enough for one.

Answer 3

If this is a wedding cake, and you are trying to figure out the quantity you need, there are a few really good cutting guides on-line.

Fruit cake is very rich and so would not require as big a piece as other cakes.

A 12" x 4" round will serve 56.  I have attached a useful link.

Answer 4

Oh well, you got a couple of sensible answers so far! A cake that size is pretty large and would easily divide into at least sixteen slices if not more!

Answer 5

buy two of those and you'll feed one person, think you might need another trip to the bakers.

Answer 6

it really depends on the size of the slices

but average would be 8-12
