Serving Suggestions

  1. Cakes2U serving suggestions (number of serves) are based on an ‘Office Slice’.
  2. An ‘Office Slice’ is a size between a ‘Cafe Slice’ (a larger portion commonly shared between 2 people at a cafe) and a ‘Wedding Slice’ (a smaller portion or ‘finger’ served at weddings).
  3. Cakes2U is confident the ‘Office Slice’ is substantial enough to satisfy the majority of our customers in most situations in which the cake will be presented. However, we urge our customers to consider the appropriateness of the size of the cake to their individual/unique situation. Cakes2U would like to limit its responsibility with regard to size to a suggestion, not a statement of fact.
  4. Please contact Cakes2U by way of LiveChat, email or phone with any queries or concerns relating to portion size prior to considering any of our products.
