Portion Size and Fondant Covering Chart
Portions and Fondant Covering at a Glance
Have you ever wondered how many portions you can get from a 8" round, or what size of cake you need for 20 kids at a birthday party? Well now you can see at a glance!
This handy guide will show you pretty much everything you need to know, from wedding size portions to large sponge cake portions and something in between. We also added a guide to how much fondant and marzipan is required to cover each cake... so no more "If I could just stretch it that little bit more!!" We think that if you make your fondant 5mm thick then it will hide those lumps, humps and bumps.

The cakes are measured in inches. The 1x1 for example means 1 inch by inch and the number underneath relates to how many 1x1 portions you will be able to get out of the cake above. E.g. a square 6" cake will give 36 1x1 portions.

Could somebody please explain the numbers beneath the Sponge portions to me? eg 2"x2" has 8 portions on a 6"tin, 12 portions on 1"x2" and so on?? What does that mean? Maybe that's a stupid question but I am from Austria and used to cm measurments and really don't know how to interpret that :)

@pamspartycakes an 8" cake tin in cm is 20cm (diameter). The fondant covering is 1kg for an 8" cake.
