Cool One each

La frase es esta:
Quote:
Were you here or were I there I would make two more. You deserve one each.
My attempt:
Estubieras aquí o yo estubiese allí (estubieramos juntos) haría dos más(pasteles). Te mereces cada uno.

'Te mereces cada uno' I find it out of tune.
¿Está bien el resto de la frase?

Nice weekend.

¿No está hablando con dos personas?

Propongo:
Si (ustedes) estuvieran aquí o si yo estuviera allá, haría dos más. Se merecen uno cada quien.

Dice que "...haría dos más. Te mereces uno/una de cada uno."

Se trata de una amiga quien me envió una foto através Facebook, de un pastel que encontré exquisito con sólo verlo. Mi comentario a su post fotográfico fue '¡Recórcholis!'.
Entonces, enseguida me envió esa frase.

This is an odd way to say what I think she meant, given your latest explanation.
It should be:
Quote:
If you were here or I there I would make two more. You deserve each one (both).
Mereces los dos.

Could it be that there is an "of" missing? "You deserve one of each"

Angélica, tienes razón. No me dí cuenta del 'I Like' de T.A.
El diálogo se desarrolla en este modo:
Quote:
A T.A. piace questo elemento..(la foto del pastel)
YO: ¡RECÓRCHOLIS!!!!...(al ver el pastel)
M. S.: Were you here or were I there I would make two more. You deserve one each.
YO: Linda frase. Espera que la traduzco. ◄Me merezco las dos, both of them, tutt'e due. Soy goloso, both of them no me basta. Gracias. Deliciosas.►
M. S.: NO NO NO
Ambos, vos y T. A. os mereceis un pastel de manzana
YO: tenia razón Angélica, entonces. Ya no se puede hacer nada porque me comí los tres. Eso pasa cuando se envían mensajes odds


Buen domingo.

One of each=uno de cada uno - For example if there are 5 differents kinds of apples each one of you
deserves one of each kind for a total of 5 different types of apples each. 5 for each one. 5 por cada uno.
So more than one of a kind.

Here is just one kind. But two cakes. One cake for each person.
You both deserve one. Each one of you deserves a cake.
Los dos se merecen una. Cada uno de ustedes se merece un pastel.
Ambos se merecen una.
