FAQS
PORTION GUIDE

 

A portion of cake is the amount of cake that is typically served to one person.

The size of a portion can vary depending on the occasion and the size of the cake being served.

There are generally three types of cake portions used, the finger portion, dessert portion or coffee shop portion.

 

A finger portion is roughly the size of a finger, about 1" wide and 5" tall.  Finger portions are often
used at events like afternoon tea or weddings where there are multiple types of desserts on the menu.

 

A dessert portion is slightly bigger than a finger portion, about 2'' wide and 5'' tall.
They are often served at birthdays and parties.

 

A coffee shop portion is a dessert slice that is shaped like a wedge, about 3'' wide and 4-5'' tall.
They are served at coffee shops or weddings where your cake is being served as a main dessert item.

DUMMY TIERS


What are dummy tiers? 

Dummy tiers (or imitation tiers) are made of polystyrene.  


These are incorporated or substituted into your celebration / wedding cake
adding extra height, style or design to your cake giving your cake that "wow" factor.


Dummy celebration / wedding cakes come in all different shapes and sizes.  


If you want a bigger wedding cake and don't have the budget 
dummy tiers are a great alternative option.  


Dummy tiers create finer lines & crisper edging making your celebration
/ wedding 
cake look fabulous.
