What size cake do I need for 10 people?
For 10 people order a 2 pound cake (about 1 kg, 8 inches), which cuts into roughly 12 generous slices. A 1 pound cake serves 4–6, so it will stretch to 10 only as small tasting slices. If dessert follows a full meal, a 1.5 pound cake is usually enough.
Cake size by guest count
| Guests | Recommended size | Starts from |
|---|---|---|
| 1–2 | Bento (4 inch) | ₹180 |
| 2–3 | Half pound | ₹250 |
| 4–6 | 1 pound | ₹400 |
| 8–10 | 1.5 pound | quoted |
| 10–14 | 2 pound | ₹750 |
| 20+ | 3 pound or two tiers | quoted on request |
Things that change the maths
- Children eat about half a slice each — a 1 pound cake can cover a small kids' party.
- After a heavy dinner most adults take a thin slice, so you can size down one step.
- If the cake is the only dessert, size up one step instead.
- Cutting and photos claim a slice or two, so keep a little margin.
- Cupcakes are easier for crowds and buffets — one each, no cutting, no plates.
For bigger parties in Asansol
Above 20 guests I usually suggest a 2 pound cake for the cutting moment plus a box or two of cupcakes, rather than one very large cake. It travels better in the heat, serves faster, and often costs less than a tiered cake.
Tiered and wedding cakes need 4–7 days' notice so each tier can be baked, chilled and structured properly.
More questions on this

- About 10–12 normal slices, or 14–16 thin ones. 1 kg is roughly our 2 pound cake at 8 inches.

- Only as small tasting slices. For 10 guests go for 1.5 to 2 pound, or add a box of cupcakes.
- Can I mix a small cake with cupcakes?
- Yes — a bento or 1 pound cake for cutting plus cupcakes for guests is the most practical combination for parties.
- Do you make tiered cakes for large gatherings?
- Yes, quoted on request, with 4–7 days' notice. Tell me the guest count and I'll suggest tiers or a cake-plus-cupcakes plan.
