All these items are covered in the plan for 100 lists and with an older party you do not need to add any extra for a fudge factor. Use potato figure for the yams. For example, you need about 83 pounds of chicken quarters,l but if it is pieces, only about 70 pounds, because they have less bone and backbone in the packages. There is a dessert planning page and a beverage planning page, also.
Look them over, post an initial estimate, and I will be glad to check it for you.

You will have some rice and some yams left. I am unclear about the pound cake amount? A one pound cake only serves 10-12.

Usual- a leaf under the pear. When you cut a poundcake loaf into 12, it just makes a regular slice.
