Sheet Cakes And Cake Mixes...

Ok just curious if you guys layer you sheet cakes or if you just have that as an option for the customer? Also, i was curious how many cake mixes to put it 9X13 pan and 11X15 pan?? I'm always confused about how many to use. Thanks a lot.
I just made a 11 x 15 and added 2 Tbls of merigue powder per cake mix (a Wilton trick to make it raise higher), and beat the mix on med/high, and it worked out great. I never thought one cake mix was enough for a 9 x 13, so I went out and bought a 8 x 12 pan (with straight sides) and I love it. Cake is nice and high, and you can't tell it's an inch short on each side.
I usually use 1 1/2 boxes for the 9X13 and 2 1/2 boxes for the 11X15.
I torte my 9X13 and 11X15's but only because I like filling/icing between my cakes and not just eat all cake. All who eat my cakes love it. Best of luck to you!
Can I ask when you all use 1 1/2 cake mixes, how do you divide the ingredients like the eggs? Silly I know. I think I just can't get my brain working today!! LOL

My guess is that she mixes the entire batch, then divides it in half.
It is much easier, as far as I'm concerned, to use the extender with one mix. The addition of the cup of flour, cup of sugar, pudding, egg and sour cream makes the equivalent to about 1 1/2 mixes. Plus, I like the flavor and texture of the cake when I use the extender.
If you want to just use 1 1/2 mixes, mix one and pour into pan. Then mix the second and add half of that to the pan. When I do that, I make cupcakes with the leftover batter.

I usually do a 2-layer cake and bake 1 1/2 mixes per 12x18 pan. Fill and stack on top of each other. Like torting but I don't like to torte so I bake the layers seperately. the result is about a 3-4 inch high cake. But I use a kind of extender recipe. I add pudding and an extra egg to my mix, it gives it slightly more volume. I mix the whole batch, 3 mixes and then divide that into two 12x18 pans.
For a 9x13 I use only one mix. But I usually make 2-layers, so one mix per 9x13 pan and fill and stack. I like my cakes to be taller than the norm.
