Looking at a 4 inch cake or a 5 inch cake and wondering how many people it serves? These small sizes suit one or two people, a simple gift, or a small surprise that doesn't need a big cake. Here are the numbers, the difference between the two sizes, and what we have in each.
How many people does a 4 or 5 inch cake serve?
| Size | Serves |
|---|---|
| 4 inch, regular | 2–3 people |
| 4 inch, double height | 4–5 people |
| 5 inch, regular | 3–4 people |
| 5 inch, double height | 6–8 people |
Double height means the same width but a taller cake, so you get more slices. Our lunch boxes and burger boxes hold a regular 4 inch cake that serves 2–3.
Need more than 8 slices? Other sizes are in our cake size guide. This article covers 4 and 5 inch only.
4 inch or 5 inch?
- 4 inch: smaller and lighter. Good for you plus one, or a gift for one person.
- 5 inch: about one more serving. Good for a small family get-together, or three or four people.
- Between sizes: if your headcount falls between two sizes, take the larger. If you want more slices without a wider cake, look at double height.
