Bespoke Birthday Cakes in Nottingham — Sizes & Portions Explained

At Rotari Bakes, every cake is handmade to order in our Nottingham kitchen. Whether you are planning an intimate dinner party or a large wedding reception, choosing the right cake size ensures every guest enjoys a perfect slice. Our portion guide is designed to help you select the ideal cake based on your guest count, event style, and serving preferences.

Our 4-inch mini cakes are perfect for small celebrations and make beautiful anniversary gifts. The 6-inch small cake serves 6 to 10 guests and is ideal for family birthdays. Our bestselling 8-inch medium cake feeds 12 to 18 people, making it the go-to choice for most Nottingham birthday parties. For larger gatherings, our 10-inch large cake serves 28 to 34 guests, while the 12-inch extra large cake comfortably feeds 40 to 44 people — perfect for weddings, corporate events, and grand celebrations.

All weights and portions are approximate. A standard finger portion is roughly 1 inch by 2 inches, while a dessert portion is closer to 2 inches by 2 inches. If you are serving cake as part of a dessert table with other treats, you may find your cake stretches even further. Not sure what you need?
