My roommate's friend had a birthday recently. I specially accompanied her to the cake shop and ordered a birthday cake. I found that she didn't know much about size. I'm afraid it will be wasted if it's too big, and I'm afraid it will be embarrassing if it's too small. Luckily, she took me with her. Let me popularize your knowledge!

The size of the cake is suitable for the number of people.

Generally, cake shops sell 6-inch, 8-inch and 10-inch cakes.

The number and size of people eating are:

6 inches: 2-4 people eat, suitable for birthday parties, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and other festivals.

8 inches: 4-6 people eat, suitable for birthday parties, various festivals, visiting relatives and friends.

10 inch: 6- 10 people eat, suitable for birthday parties, various festivals, visiting relatives and friends.

12 inch: 10- 12 people, suitable for birthday parties, various festivals, visiting relatives and friends.

14 inch: 12- 14 people, suitable for company and classmate gatherings.

16 inch: 14- 16 people eat, suitable for all kinds of medium-sized celebrations.

Multi-layer cake: the size difference between the upper and lower layers is at least 4 inches. For example, 8 inches should be at least 12 inch instead of 10 inch.

How big is the cake?

Usually we say that the cake is inches.

1 inch = 2.54 cm.

6 inches = 15.24 cm ≈ 1 lb.

8 inches = 20.32 cm ≈2 lbs.

10 inch = 25.4 cm ≈3 lbs.

12 inch = 30.48 cm ≈4 lbs.

14 inch = 35.56 cm ≈5 lbs.

16 inch = 40.64 cm ≈6 lbs.

How to save the cake

1. Baked cakes should be moisture-proof.

2. Eat heavy oil cakes as soon as possible.

3. Try to eat steamed cakes within 3-5 days.

The smaller the cake, the better?

The smaller the cake, the more delicious it is. The degree of beauty has nothing to do with the size, but mainly depends on the producer's technique.
