As a new cake decorator, you would think that I would know how to:

1. bake the cake (check),

2. decorate the cake (check),

3. cut the cake (. . . ummmm, not so much!)

So before I get asked this question by the brides that have honoured me by hiring me for their weddings (and look like an idiot while I would have stood there stammering “uhhhh, umm, huh . . .”), I thought I would research how to go about cutting a cake that serves 200 people!

I found this helpful serving chart here:

Obviously, if you are having a tiered wedding cake, you (or your cake servers), will need to cut each different sized layer according to the chart.

Hopefully this is helpful to anyone who needs to serve a group of large (or small) people cake!

LET THEM EAT CAKE!
