To calculate a serving size of cake, first consider the occasion and the type of cake. For a party, a 9x13 inch cake can serve up to 18 people (about 2x2 inch pieces). For a round cake, a 9-inch diameter can serve 12 to 16, depending on slice thickness. Always start by deciding the number of guests and the cake's dimensions, then divide accordingly, ensuring each piece is equally portioned. Adjust the slice size based on the event's formality and the presence of other desserts.
