How many sheet cakes do I need for wedding reception for 275 people? I can't find that info anywhere! Please help!
Sheet cakes (single layers):
1/4 9 x 13 feeds 15 - 20
1/3 11 x 15 feeds up to 35
1/2 12 x 18 feeds up to 50
full 24 x 36 feeds up to 100
HTH
I personally think it would depend on if you are going to do single layer or double layer sheet cakes. When I do single layer sheet cakes I divide the cake into 36 pieces (2x3 in pieces).. they are a nice servings.. if you are going a double sheet cake than I just cut them into the "standard" wedding serving of 1x2x4 (I think I'm remembering that right)...and it would also depend on if there is going to be a "main" or typical wedding cake that is going to be cut and served. HTH.
For a wedding I would definitely make them double layer and make two 12x18's for 200 servings and one 11x15 for 75 servings.
full 24 x 36 feeds up to 100

You mean a 18x24. A 24x36 would be four 12x18's and would serve 200. I think you doubled both numbers instead of just doubling one of them.

HA HA HA - Of course you are right indydebi, I googled the info and pulled this off a website, I'll have to go check who's, this was just copy & pasted. GREAT CATCH
double up those layers. that way, when served from the kitchen the people don't know they didn't get the "real" wedding cake. less work for you too.
good luck.
