This weekend my organization is providing a luncheon to a boy who will become a bar mitzvah on Saturday. I'm donating the cake.
The boy and his parents said they just wanted a sheet cake from C o s t c o. Can do. But here's my dilemma:
1) The sheet cake serves 48.
2) The bar mitzvah family has invited 60 people to the event.
3) There will be at least 20-30 more people attending because the bar mitzvah happens as part of Saturday morning services and members of the congregation are invited to the kiddush luncheon.
The Question: Do I buy one cake, expecting that not everyone will eat a piece or we can cut the pieces small? OR Do I buy two cakes with the expectation that everyone will take a piece, but if not we'll have a lot of leftover?
The cost is $17.99+ tax/ cake, but I'm not concerned about that really. Just put it in there in case some one asked.
