Eight-inch cakes originated in the west, and then slowly spread to China. Although most cake shops now use inches as the unit of measurement, the diameter of an eight-inch cake is still 20 cm. According to the fact that one inch equals 0,762 inches, it is 25 or 4 millimeters when converted into centimeters, and 8 * 25 or 4 millimeters = 203 or 2 millimeters when converted into centimeters, it is 20 centimeters.

An eight-inch cake is suitable for 3-5 people. If measured by weight, it is equivalent to two pounds, which is about 900 grams. In addition, eight-inch cakes have square and rectangular shapes besides circles.

It should be noted that because different brands and types of cakes may use different materials, their shapes and sizes will also be different. In addition, for some birthday cakes with patterns or characters, the actual size may be reduced.
