I am new to cake decorating and I am wondering what size would a 1/4 sheet cake be, 1/2 sheet cake etc. sorry to be so dumb sunflowerfreak
You'll find that there are lots of different ideas about what is a certain "size" around here. I don't really quote a cake as "1/2 sheet" etc. I just figure out how many people the cake needs to feed and go from there. My customers have been happy with it so far.
there have been a million posts on this in the last few weeks . . . lol
even so.....i find it easier to just post my question too....rather than search for it...sometimes its just easier and quicker....
I have no idea about the answer....I obviously havent seen the million posts about it either....but I hope you get help on it!! 
sunflowerfreak: not a dumb question at all...in fact most of us are divided on the answer 
This is what I use & serving sizes I go by...
1/4 sheet 9x13 15-20 people
1/2 sheet 2 9x13 30-40
full sheet 4 9x13 60-80
*edited to add...okay, sorry..have to edit again cause I mixed up my single & double layer serving size 
For the above sizes if I make a one layer sheet cake I follow the smaller serving for the pan...ex...If I make a one layer 1/4 sheet it feeds 15 if I make a 2 layer with a filling I go with the 20 people size
I know others use a 1/2 sheet pan for the half & full which I believe is 12x18...
I hope this helps..
There are 3 different choices in sheet cake sizes.
7x11
11x15
15x22
8x12
12x16
16x24
9x13
12x18
18x24
I have found locally that most of our bakeries use the first set. One local grocery store uses the middle set and I use the 3rd set.
I have also seen 12x18 referred to a 3/4 sheet
I always make sure my customers know how many servings my cakes serve and ask them how many they need. I also explain that different bakeries use different size sheets so they need to compare apples to apples.
i also have a question on this subject... when you say a double layer with filling, does that mean you'd have to bake 2 cakes, fill the middle and put them together or that you would just split one of them and fill it? i just thought making 2 1/2 sheet cakes to put on top of each other would be an awful lot of cake batter... thanks

I wasn't making fun - just commenting on how many times people ask this.

I think everyone does it different, but yes for my double layer with filling I make 2 cakes stacked on top with filling. Some people torte theirs into 2 layers, but I'm very clumsy & don't have enough coordination for that I do make the cakes a little thinner when I do this though. HTH
