    Two people who were… Large. They ordered quite a bit of food. When they pulled up to the window they had an entire goddamn sheet cake in between them on the seat and they were going to town on it.

          I wasn’t even aware what it was and every single result the search engine returned was around the lines of “recipe for a cake to serve to a large number of people”.

          You usually make a recipe to be small and just multiply the volume of ingredients in order to serve more.

          not the other way around

            I mean it’s just the cake equivalent of a party pizza. It’s not made any differently than any other sponge cake, it just uses a larger square sheet to bake in than smaller round cake pans.

              party pizza

              this is going to sound strange but I’m not even aware of what that implies

              I live in a simple place: pizza comes in small, medium and large. Anything else, you order and pay it by weight/ingredients.

                A party pizza is basically what it sounds like, a pizza meant to feed a party of 10 or more people.

                They usually look like this, a large rectangle cut into squares. Each square is about the width of your palm between your wrist and your fingers.

                  a party of 10-15 people.

                  Damn, how huge are your party pizzas? I’d say a single one usually can feed 3-5 people.

                    Careful, there’s a pizza place near where I grew up that used to have 36" pizzas, but they had to downsize to 28" because the boxes were too expensive.

                    It’s called Giant Pizza King, and they’re goddamn delicious.

                    Caught me before I was able to edit! I thought about it for a second and decided that estimate was too high.

                    10 people is what I would usually say is a normal amount, maybe variable depending on how hungry people arrive and if there are any other dishes to snack on at whatever hypothetical party this is.

                    I can only eat 3-4 slices at most before I get full, but my appetite isn’t the biggest.

                    Usually what ends up happening is that I still order a party pizza for a group of 5 or so people and then end up with leftovers for a few days. Just can’t beat the surface-to-crust ratio.

      Hmm they seem like reasonable people. You wouldn’t want to have dessert only, would you
