Planning a celebration? Birthdays, dinners, work parties, neighbourhood parties: whatever the occasion, there's nothing better than an ice cream cake.
Too small → not enough slices.
Too big → melts before everyone gets to enjoy it.
At Ice Cream Cakes Melbourne, each of our cakes is handcrafted using Ben & Jerry’s ice cream — which means every serving is rich, satisfying, and indulgent.
So yes, slice size matters — but it’s simpler than you think.
Use this quick guide to get it just right.
How many people are You celebrating with?
Here’s the easy serving guide based on our cake sizes:
| Cake Size | Serves (Comfortably) | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 6 inch | 6–8 people | Date nights, small family celebrations, intimate birthday moments |
| 8 inch | 12-14 people | Friend groups, small house gatherings, family dinner parties |
| 10 inch | 20–24 people | Bigger birthdays, workplace celebrations, backyard parties |
| 12 inch | 30–34 people | Engagements, milestone birthdays, large family celebrations |
Simple rule:
If dessert is the main event, go one size up.
If it’s just a sweet ending to a meal, the standard serving applies perfectly.
