I'm looking to purchase a divider for a half and half cake. An acquaintance who is a cake decorator told me she has one and I can purchase it at a cake supplier but I can't find one. Can anyone offer a suggestion as to where to look?..Thanks in advance!

I am always making half chocolate and half white sheet cakes . I use to just mix up the batters in two seperate bowls and then try pouring them at the same time or else I would have someone help, but now I just pour one in at one end and then pour the other end and let them meet in the middle. hope that makes sense.lol. works great and I have never had a complaint about it. 
I use a cake board cut to the size of cake pan pour your batter one at a time them pull the board works well But after reading tippyad post the foil would be better just rip the foil off use the board again hope this helps and thanks for the tip tippyad

If you put one end of the pan on a folded kitchen towel(it doesn't have to be a drastic slant).have both batters ready. Pour one batter into the low end. It will go toward the lower end. Remove towel and quickly pour the other batter. Having a mark at the center point helps if you absolutely have to have it exactly 1/2 and 1/2. That is what I do and it works for me.

agree. I wouldn't spend money on a divider. Never has a customer ever come back and complained (or even noticed) if the cake wasn't exactly half and half.
Let me add that I see a lot of posts in which the question comes up about "won't the batters run together unless you put a divider in there?" No, they won't. It's not watery like Kool-Aid ... it's thick like lava. And when the thick lava-like batters meet in the middle, they will stop each other.
