  2. This looks great but I never know when cutting cake or pie how much is really a serving? I'm sure its always smaller than we want it to be :)

  3. Hey there Heidi! When it comes to portioning, cupcakes are the easiest way to maintain portion control. If you are making a double layered cake or a pie both will serve about 16. Enjoy!
