Ordering cake for large group 30-100 people

Ordering Cake for Large Groups (30 to 100+ Guests)

One cake for 80 people sounds simple until you try to find a single round cake that feeds 80. It doesn't work that way. Here's how to plan cake for a large group without overspending or running short.

The Math: How Much Cake Do You Actually Need?

Count your guests, then decide on portion size. Coffee portions (small slices alongside other food) or dessert portions (generous slices, cake is the main sweet). The difference is roughly 40% more cake for dessert portions.

For 50 guests with coffee portions, a 22 cm cake gets you about 24 to 28 slices. That's not enough. You'd need either a 26 cm cake plus a smaller one, or two 22 cm cakes.

Use our cake calculator to get exact numbers for your group size. It accounts for portion type and gives you size recommendations.

Strategy 1: Multiple Cakes

Two or three smaller cakes give you more flexibility than one massive cake. You can offer different flavors, say, one vanilla with strawberry filling and one chocolate with ganache. Guests get a choice, and you reduce the risk of a single flavor nobody likes.

Multiple cakes also solve the logistics problem. A 26 cm cake is heavy and hard to transport. Two 18 cm cakes are lighter, easier to carry, and can go on separate tables at the venue.

Strategy 2: Cake + Cupcake Combo

A display cake (18 or 22 cm) for the cutting moment, plus cupcakes for serving. This is the most practical option for 50+ guests. The cake is the centerpiece and photo opportunity. The cupcakes are pre-portioned: no cutting, no plates, no mess.

Cupcakes come in the same flavors as our cakes (vanilla, chocolate, all five filling options), so the taste matches. You can mix flavors across the cupcakes too.

Strategy 3: Tiered Cakes

A two- or three-tier cake feeds a large group from a single showpiece. Each tier is a different size stacked together. This works well for weddings and milestone birthdays where the cake is a visual focal point.

Tiered cakes start at a higher price point, but per-person cost is often comparable to ordering multiple separate cakes. The presentation value is significantly higher.

For groups over 100, a tiered cake combined with cupcakes is the most efficient approach. Start your order here and mention your guest count. We'll help you figure out the right combination.

Preguntas frecuentes

What is the cheapest option for a large group?
Multiple standard-size cakes (18 or 22 cm) are usually the most affordable. Cupcakes are slightly more per serving than cake slices but eliminate the need for plates and cutting. Use the cake calculator to compare options for your group size.
Can I order different flavors for different cakes?
Yes. Each cake or cupcake batch can be a different flavor. This is one of the advantages of ordering multiple cakes instead of one large one.
How far in advance should I order for a large group?
At least 1 week, but 2 weeks is better for orders of 50+ servings. Larger orders take more preparation time and we need to plan baking schedules accordingly.
Do you deliver large orders?
Pickup is available in Vlaardingen and Rotterdam. Interested in delivery? Reach out via the order form, DM, or email to discuss options. For large orders with multiple cakes, we can help you figure out the best way to get everything to your venue.
