Is a single-layer 12x18x2 cake enough for 100 people or would i need a double-layer cake of that size?

With square or rectangle cakes, it's easy to just do the math to figure your servings.....

Single layer:
11x15 cake: 2x2" servings = cut columns/rows of 5x7 = 35 servings
11x15 cake: 2x3" servings = cut columns/rows of 5x5 = 25 servings

12x18 cake: 2x2" servings = cut columns/rows of 6x9 = 54 servings
12x18 cake: 2x3" servings = cut columns/rows of 6x6 = 36 servings

These are based on a single layer cake. If you bake two layers, then you will probably cut the pieces into 1x2" pieces to yield different serving amounts.

Double layer (pieces are 4 tall same as a wedding cake):
11x15 cake: 1x2 pieces = cut columns/rows of approx 10 x 7 = 70 servings
12x18 cake: 1x2 pieces = cut columns/rows of approx 12x 9 = 108 servings

Just do the math.....!
