I suspect that the glass in coffee shop display cases is slightly magnified to make the cakes look bigger. Just got a cheesecake slice in Cafe Nero and doesn’t look the same size when on the plate.
Anyone else suspect this? |

Can't confirm or deny as i wasn't witness to your cake in cafe Nero
What i can say is,the size of cake slices served in most cafes and restaurants are considerably smaller to the portion size I would serve myself at home  |

"The local independent coffee shop is not like that, the portions try sell are quite generous."
You are so right. I would always prefer an independent but I’m in a shopping mall and it’s only the chains. |

But I may be on the verge of exposing a cake selling scam. Deliberate use of magnifying glass in display cabinets to give an exaggerated impression of size.
Size does matter. |

"Go to a independent coffee shop most there cakes made on site and taste a lot better "
National Trust do good cake and a decent slice but its about £3 for one. It makes me nearly cry, but it is cake, so must be bought. Just get 3 spoons and everyone has to eat it quick or lose out   |

Do we use a Lynx can when comparing cake slices or usvthere another standard unit we should use when taking pics?
I often think about portion control especially mcdionakds fries! Doesn’t seem to be any way of checking the weight unlike alcohol that’s carefully measured and controlled. |

Agreed. And as I stated above I would always prefer an independent. But, out of town shopping centre, only the national chains. |
