Ha! I should probably get my calculator out. I reckon it rather depends on how heavy my cereal bowl will be...
Here's a rough sketch. I've got opportunities to add support/ legs later, so in some ways I'm just thinking out loud. It's Worktop Express beech, so staves glued together. Their assembly instructions suggest overhangs exceeding 200mm need a supporting leg, but then their documentation for those legs says they're needed for overhangs exceeding 300mm! Perhaps the confusion is between worktop thicknesses of 27mm and 40mm.
What direction is the grain running? If left to right, I would think it would be ok. If top to bottom, I would be wary of the wood splitting along the grain.
