That would depend on the hospitality level of the host/ess. When I'd
cook for company even if just two guests I'd prepare at least two
different desserts, probably three.. and more than enough for everyone
to have full size generous portions. I feel if entertaining guests
one doesn't skimp on the food and never counts how many bites.

About five years ago my wife volunteered to repair a neighbor's
computer. We were there all day and weren't offered so much as some
thing to drink. When dinner time arrived they brought in a plain
pizza and it wasn't very big. There were eight small slices. They
nibbled on two and put two in the fridge. We ate two slices each and
wished there was something more... we were there all day and were
famished. The husband said you two sure eat fast. We've never been
back. A couple of months ago they called again to say their computer
wasn't working but my wife said she was too busy and gave them the
number to Geek Squad.

Some people should never have guests.
