How Many People Does a 9-inch Cake Feed?

Tiers

Obviously, the shape has a significant influence on the number of pieces you will receive from a 9-inch cake. But, there is more to it than simply size. It’s also the amount of layers. You’ll get a lot more slices out of your cake if you add a complete new layer to it. This is particularly true when it comes to three or four-tiered desserts.

Slices

The slices themselves are the final item to consider. There are two things to keep in mind: how the cake is sliced and the size of the portions.

• Since the pieces are bigger when cutting for a party, you will serve fewer visitors (two or three inches).
• Since the pieces are sliced thinner when employing the wedding or event style of slicing, you will be able to serve more people (around one inch).

When determining how many people a 9-inch cake will serve, always consider the serving size. You may easily feed 24 people using the party approach or 32 guests using the wedding style way for a typical round 9-inch cake.
