Okay, I'm sure someone can answer this question right away. What are the sizes of pans used for each sheet cake? Thanks, Janice

someone post this and I copied it so I'd have it for reference :

9x13 - 1/4 sheet
11x15 - 1/2 sheet
12x15 - 3/4 sheet
(2) 11x15 - full sheet


1 cake mix - 1/4, 2 cake mixes - 1/2, 3 cake mixes - 3/4 and 4 mixes a full sheet.

The truth is everyone says something different. Here's what I use.

1/4 sheet - 9x13
1/2 sheet - 11x15
1 sheet - (2)11x15

A full sheet may not fit well in your oven as is the problem with mine. I have also found that this makes things a whole lot easier for making different flavors for one cake.

Hope this helps,

Teisha

Thanks ladies for the info. I appreciate your quick responses. Also, I forgot to ask--how many servings per sheet cake? Thanks, Janice

We just did this on Saturday, the 21st!

Most people use the 12x18 for the half sheet pan and two 12x18s for the whole sheet. There really isn't a standard size, but that's what most people I know of use!

You know it is like comparing apples with oranges 1/4, 1/2 and full are all bakery terms as they actually cut the pan into these sizes so our home pans are not the same

a 1/4 sheet cake in the store is smaller than a 9x13 same with a 1/2 so I do not even refer to them with those terms. I say to the customer I make a 9X13 and a 12X18 which are larger than the store 1/4 and 1/2 sheet cake this is how many they will serve cut in pieces _x_

Msmeg, What would you charge for a basic 9x13 and 12x18 sheet cake with a few buttercream roses? Thanks to all for all the info.

The local stores here have a 7x11, 9x13, 12x18, and then the full sheet.
