This chart is intended to give you a rough idea of how many cake portions can be obtained from a cake -  Please note that these can only be guidelines.  To achieve the portions above the cake must be cut as a grid, regardless of its shape, to gain maximum portions - serving size: 2" x 1".  If cut like a 'pizza' portions will be lost. 
​There is a difference in sponge and fruit cake portioning - fruit cake is finger size slices intended as a gesture for your guests - serving size: 1" x 1".
