Whatever picture or design you want on it, then separate the leftovers in small Pyrex type containers and freeze it. Problem solved.

One, cakes and cake pans come in all kinds of sizes. And that's leaving aside tarts, European sweet breads, and other cake-adjacent deserts.

Two, even using just a standard nine-inch cake pan, your cake is almost infinitely scaleable just by making fewer or more layers. A one-layer nine-inch cake fits your bill.

"Sweetbread" is an offal dish. I should have written "sweet breads" or "quick breads."

Did you find one?

Your wife deserves the biggest cake there is anyway!

On the theory, I suppose, that anything that could be mistaken for thriftiness is a display of some moral defect.

"Never eat food beyond the day on which it was cooked. It's a sign of weakness," as John Wayne said, maybe.

...at least as far as sheet cakes go.

What's wrong with leftover cake? Share with your neighbors if it can't be in the house. Or eat more than one piece of cake.

If, for some odd reason, you're opposed to leftover cake, you can always just buy 3-7 cupcakes. You can also buy smaller cake pans to bake a cake that would serve 6-8.

Other options include going with pie or cheesecake instead of a birthday cake.

"Fine". Then I cut her piece in two.

And the answer is no. We (six people) couldn’t come close to finishing my dad’s bday cake over two nights.

But those conniving bastards at Hebrew National are putting the dogs in packs of 7. That’s freaking PRIME! You can’t match buns to dogs until you get to 56. I don’t live with Joey Chestnut. I used to think the theories about the Jews plotting to run the world were crackpot garbage... but 7 hot dogs to a package? That’s just diabolically sneaky.
