How to Use the Cake Calculator
This cake calculator helps you determine the number of cakes you need based on the number of people, the number of cake layers, the diameter of the cake, and your cake flavor.
Instructions:
- Enter the number of people you’ll be serving.
- Enter the number of layers each cake will have.
- Enter the diameter of each cake (in inches).
- Select the flavor of the cake from the dropdown.
- Click the “Calculate” button to get the result.
How it Calculates the Results:
The calculator uses a formula to estimate the total servings based on the cake’s diameter and number of layers. It assumes a base serving size of 2 people per square inch of a single-layer cake. The formula for the calculation is as follows:
Formula: total servings = π * (diameter / 2)² * baseServing * layers
The final result is the number of cakes recommended to serve the entered number of people.
Limitations:
Please note that this calculator provides an estimate based on average cake sizes and serving counts. Actual needs may vary depending on the specific cake recipe and how generous the servings are. If you are planning for an event with specific requirements, please consult with a professional baker.
