Q.
I'm throwing a 90th birthday party and have invited a lot of people. How much cake should I have to feed 60 guests?
A.
It’s always better to overestimate than underestimate (who wants to leave their guests without cake?). Jay Muse, owner and founder of Lulu Cake Boutique (EverythingLulu.com), says that a two-tier cake (one 8" and one 12") will serve about 60 guests. If you’re going for a sheet cake, a 20"x20" should be enough to give all of your guests their fair share of cake.
