It depends on how big or small you cut it. with a 1x2 serving the yield would be about 54 that is very small servings.

1x2 if the cake is 2 layers (approx. 4-5") high isn't a small piece IMHO.

I do a lot of 9 x 13 that I cut into cake squares. I cut them into 2x2 inch squares and I get 24 squares. Hope this helps

There is no absolute answer. It depends on how many you need to serve, and what the event is about, and who you are serving.

If you need it to serve 50, it can. If you only want to serve 20, it will with bigger servings.

square and rectangular cakes are easier to estimate servings.

With square or rectangle cakes, it's easy to just do the math to figure your servings..... "columns/rows" are approximate.....

9x13 cake: 2x2" servings = cut columns/rows of 4x6 = 24 servings
9x13 cake: 2x3" servings = cut columns/rows of 3x6 = 18 servings

11x15 cake: 2x2" servings = cut columns/rows of 5x7 = 35 servings
11x15 cake: 2x3" servings = cut columns/rows of 5x5 = 25 servings

12x18 cake: 2x2" servings = cut columns/rows of 6x9 = 54 servings
12x18 cake: 2x3" servings = cut columns/rows of 6x6 = 36 servings

These are based on a single layer cake. If you bake two layers, then you will probably cut the pieces into 1x3" pieces to yield different serving amounts.

Just do the math.....! thumbs_up.gif
