Great video!! This was extremely helpful for me. When I make cakes for parties I attend, the host normally asks me to cut the cake. Instead of being a nervous mess, I'll confidently cut away. Thanks again!
Oops lol…i just commented on that chart video ..asking you how you cut these cakes. You have it covered lol…thank you so much! ❤️
What they do not tell you is if you cut your cake like this (from the center) and put both ends together to keep it from drying out, the cake will melt and fall apart at room temperature. It is better to cut it in triangle shape if you plan on leaving it out.
Great tip, thank you! Yes, it is more stable with triangles if you want to save it without wrapping up individual slices.
It really annoys me that someone thinks they can just cancel their order after you actually made the cake! Imposing time and resource costs on you just to flake out 🤬🤬🤬
I know!! I have policies in place so this doesn't really happen anymore. It's super annoying!
Nothing to do with the number of slices of cake..but..what kind of cake was that last one? 😂 it looked so good! 🤤
That's chocolate chip cake with chocolate buttercream filling! I have videos on how to make both of them, they are in the recipes playlist on my channel!
I've never been sure with this way of counting servings because the end pieces are so much smaller than the other pieces, you know? I usually don't include those pieces in the serving count.
I understand, I do it like this because there are usually kids or people who just want a tiny piece and those can go to them
@@KarolynsKakes Oh, good point! I didn't think about that :)
@@Mairiain it’s a bit of a cheat LOL
These serving sizes are for servings up to the number quoted. (Or at least that’s what I always tell people.). Because it all depends on how you cut it!
@@KarolynsKakes lol makes sense :) You're awesome, Karolyn! Love your channel :)
Can you PLEASE make a video about heart shape cakes? I struggle with serving sizes!
Thanks Karolyn!
Hi Karolyn. I love watching your videos. My question is.... how many days does it take you to finish a cake? Like... bake one day, fill the next day, ice the 3rd day and then finish the 4th day? If that is the case, do you freeze and re-freeze the cake or just put it in the refrigerator?
That's exactly what I do! I'll work on the decorations on the days that I bake / fill / ice so they are ready to go on the cake on the 4th day. And I never re-freeze the cake. It goes in the fridge as I'm working on it, until it is picked up.
@@KarolynsKakes you are awesome! Thank you so much for the reply and I can't wait to see what you do next! 😀
Better to say "ado" than "doo-doo", lol.
😂😂
Whoever gets the corner slice is getting cheated. 😂I'll take a middle one, please.
I have a question how do I go about asking customers how many servings are they planning to eat they will tell me and I’ll do according to the serving they want and problem is that it’s not enough because the way they cut it. Should I worry about it or just let them know how to cut the cake
What chart do you use? If you go by the Wilton chart, which is what mine is based off of, I find it to be very generous and I’ve never had complaints of it being too small.
There is pretty much a standard cake slice size that these charts are based on. A 6” 2 layer cake can feed up to 12. If they have big appetites and only get 4 servings out of it, that doesn’t mean it only is 4 servings! Lol
I usually will show people (using my hands) how to cut it. So I’ll say…cut it in half this way (hand motion over the cake), then cut slices this way. They pretty much get it when I do that.
Did I answer your question?
@@KarolynsKakes kinda but it’s your chart but they will complain so it’s them cutting big pieces
@@ODY0319 I would explain to them that the serving charts are based off of the standard size slice (I have to look up the exact measurements I’m not sure what it is). Then say if they like to eat more cake, then they should get a bigger size.
Or maybe you just make it bigger and charge accordingly. So if they need something to feed 20, make it to feed 30 and charge for it to feed 30. Because if you tell them you have to make it bigger, they could complain.
Do you have a cutting guide you send to the customers?
How about 4 layers? 😄
When I make a cake that's 4 layers, I make it as a double barrel cake. (2 tiers the same size iced into one tall tier). There are supports in the bottom half and a cardboard circle in the middle, so you can't cut from top to bottom. So I still use this guide for that!
Thanks for sharing! I am new to this cutting technique as well, I guess most people who want to order cakes does not even know this 😀 I guess I have to explain to them how to cut. I appreciate your sharings with us
How do i make an 8 inch cake into a 6 inch cake. Finding it impossible to find 6 inch non aluminium 6 inch cake pans?
You can take a 6" cake circle and place it on top of the 8" cake. Then take a serrated knife and hold it straight and use the cardboard circle as a guide to cut the cake to size.
I’m making a 3-tier wedding cake for a friend. She is having 100 guests. What pan sizes work best and should each tier have 3 cake layers?
For 100 people, I would do 5" / 7" / 9" / 11". I always do 4 tiers for 100.
3 tiers to feed 100, I would do 8" / 10" / 12". It will be short and wide rather than tall and narrow. But some people don't mind that!
Here's a video explaining it!

Thank you for another informative video.
hello how tall is your 3 layer cake ? thank you😊
Each tier is 4.5 - 5 inches tall. So the total height is approx. 13.5 - 15 inches tall.
Oops, I may have misunderstood. A 3 layer cake is approx. 7 inches tall. People always say layers when they mean tiers, but I think you actually meant layers LOL
@@KarolynsKakes thank you yes I meant layer😊
There aren’t many recipes for 4”cakes or 6”cakes…how to scale down recipes?
Here ya go!

Great video! And we can cut horizontally for double the amount of slices right? Like for the 3 layer or torted layers
I would say you can do that for small portions, like if you’re serving children.
Thanks very useful
Thanks cuttie
I clearly have been cutting cakes wrong. Thanks for sharing
There are so many different ways to cut cakes! So your way isn't wrong, it's just different. 💜🙏
@KarolynsKakes I’m sorry to hear that a client cancelled on you because of COVID. I feel like, as a baker, your hard work should still be paid for even though the client’s gathering was cancelled. May future clients consider your hard work.
It stinks, but luckily I can turn it into a TH-cam tutorial! LOL
I was able to keep a small deposit, which covered the cost of ingredients and the time to bake, so it's all good.
@@KarolynsKakes OK, good! I'm glad that that it wasn't that bad, but I'm also glad that you showed us how to cut a cake this size! I didn't know we could get up to 18 pieces from a 3-layer 6-inch cake! Thank you!
Love the chart!! 😃
I have been cutting cakes wrong my entire life 🤪
There’s no wrong or right way! There’s just different options ☺️☺️
Hi thank you for sharing. I would like to know. if the cake has 4 layers (6-inch cake) how many servings for this cake? thanks
If I'm torting two 2" high 6" cakes to get 4 layers, it's 12-16 servings.
If I'm making a 4 layer cake with 2" high 6" cakes without torting, I will make a double barrel cake (supports in the bottom part to support the top part). It essentially will be 2 tiers iced into one. That will feed 20-24.
Here's what I mean by double barrel cake:

Thanks
thanks for sharing this helpful video
Glad it was helpful!

How many person does it serve ( 8"with 3 layers) ?
The video I needed! Thank you!!!! ❤️
Happy to help!
Serving size and cutting just made so much sense! Thank you Karolyn! What is the best way to tell your customers?
I usually just motion with my hand to show them the way I recommend to cut it when they pick it up.
And I also have a video on my website that they can reference!
