I need to make a cake for 15 people. A chart I looked at said a double layer 1/4 sheet cake would feed 32, another chart said 24.

What if I made a 3 in. 9x13.....think that will be enough for 15 people. I know according to the chart it will but looking at the pan, just want to make sure I have enough.

Thanks!

Yes a 9x13 would feed 15 people! They will have some extra too!

I figure that a 9x13 feeds close to 25 people in 2x2 servings so you should have plenty and some leftovers.

Iquote a 9x13" single layer cake at 18/24 servings. That's a 2x3"/2x2" slice. HTH!

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.....!
