A full sheet serves A LOT. And, you need to make sure your oven would fit the pan! Also, a full sheet cake might be open to interpretation. I suggest that you find out how many people they need to feed and go from there.

Here is a link to Wilton's serving guide; it might help you a lot.

Full Sheet: 18x24 (will not fit into standard oven) feeds appx 100
Half sheet: 12x18 feeds appx 50
Quarter Sheet: 9x12 feeds appx 25

Serving size assumes 2x2x2" high.

Find out what they customer needs as far as servings and goo from there.

Thanks for the help, she has to feed 165 people a company function, so she wants two full sheet cakes.....

You might try 2 half sheets w/2 layers each.
That way you could add a nice filling.
Yumm..........Strawberry.

I second the last suggestion of 2 12 x 18's that are double layered with a filling betweent the layers.

I never offered full sheets because #1, I didn't have boxes and boards that big, #2, didn't have an oven that big, and #3, just didn't want to deal with the cumbersome job of icing a full sheet.

2 12 x 18 double layers will give you the servings you need and look better too, imo.
