Well, good luck nonetheless! You might want to look into non-profit law groups in your area to see if an attorney might be willing to assist you pro bono. Just a thought. Again, good luck. And don't let a hot shot attorney intimidate you. We all put our pants on one leg at a time! icon_smile.gif

First, make sure you are both using the correct terminology. A full sized sheet cake is 18" X 24" (actaully closer to 18" x 26") snd if 2" tall, serves 216. TWO of those will indeed be huge. She really needs cake for 432 servings?

Will the pan even fit in your oven?



I think leah_s meant to say "if 2 layers tall", not "2 inches tall".

So, a one-layer (2" tall) full sheet would serve between 98-108,
and a two-layer (4" tall) full sheet (a.k.a. "kitchen cake") would serve 196-216
(depending on if actual size is 16" x 24" or 18" x 24").

I agree! I think I'll bake 4 half sheets with a heat core, and assemble them together for each cake. I'm gonna do the carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, and the chocolate cake she wants a mousse filling with chocolate icing. Not sure what kind of mousse would be good, but will probably make chocoate meringue buttercream. Chocolate mousse is good, but I thought that might be an overload on the chocolate.

How far ahead should I be able to bake the cakes? The event is on a Saturday night, so I was going to bake one cake Thursday night, the other friday night, and then assemble, frost and decorate all day Saturday.
