Any one ordered a cake from the Chocolate Cake Company. The Wellington branch isn't open on a Saturday... So can't ask them today/
We need chocolate cake to serve about 120 people. - One cake as a "presentation cake" - to farewell a long standing staff member, and the rest as cake to serve for afternoon tea (as well as lots of other food). My question: A 12 inch chocolate is described as serving 25-30 people what is the serving size like? Enough for dessert, or enough to cut into small pieces at a cocktail/drinks event?
(also asked in Parenting where I normally hang out).

I would say dessert.
I've had one of those cakes once, and it was really rich!So a little goes a along way.Just looked at one of my books which had a guide for cutting wedding cakes.A 12 inch cake cut up into over 70 1x2inch slices... those are really little obviously, but 'normal' wedding cake size.

Oh, and in 'party servings' a 12inch square would do 48, round would do 40.These are 1.5x2inches each... still fairly small.So definitely their 25 -30 people are getting a pretty decent size each, especially for a cake so rich

I would strongly recommend trying http://www.newworldmetro.co.nz/bakery.html on Willis Street, they are award winners in their bakery, their prices are amazing and the quality of their cakes is superb. We recently bought 2 x 21st cakes on was a choc mud cake for 60 - well worth it and they are so obliging at changing anything from decorations to shapes, flavours - give them a go, you won't be disappointed.

My wedding cake came from The Chocolate Cake Co - it was awesome. Sorry, can't help tho on the sizes. We had 2 layers for 60 guests, but only used one layer.
