Oh Boy.....

The bakery retailers seem to agree, but not so much the people on this board.

How many servings do you need might be an easier way to determine what size pan you need.

FYI, here are sheet pan sizes by retailers:

Single and double layer sheet cake serving guides:
(with additional sheet cake threads.)

And indydebi crunched the numbers for single layers:

Please, no "save" threads per Jackie. Thanks!!!!

Thank you for your speedy reply. It seems to me, from the links you left about half sheets, it is 12 x 18. Wow, I hate to see how big a "full" sheet is!

I have to agree..."oh boy"! icon_lol.gif

Just recently, I've had several people inquire about cakes, stating they need "this" size. I then ask how many people they need to feed and it all goes out the window.

Yes, I just had an order for a 1/2 sheet this past weekend. I asked her how many she needed it to serve, and she said I don't know, I just always order 1/2 sheet!
