I have a cake due in a couple of days, just got the order, and this is my first sheet cake, it is a full sheet (12x1
so how many boxes of cake mix would go in it? I'm using Duncan Hines. I want it to be really full, because I am not making 2 layers. so it needs to be (after baked) 3 inches high. Also how many cups of buttercream would be needed to cover the cake? Thank you sooo much for you help, I have to go shopping tonight so I really need information quick.
THANKS
Sorry I don't use that size pan--but I just wanted to remind you your going to need a couple of flower nails in there 
A 12 X 18 is a 1/2 sheet cake, and I always use 3 mixes. It brings the cake right up to the top with a little extra for leveling. I use the Wilton recipe for buttercreme, and it takes 2 - double recipies.
Hope this help!
I use that pan ALL the time and DH mixes it's 3 and it's full to the brim if you bake at 325, and it comes ALL the way to the top. Have fun!!!! Matter of fact the three Graduate cake I just did this past weekend is in my photos was that pan with 3 mixes.

For your sheet cakes do you do 2 layers? I'm making one this weekend and don't know if i should do 2 layers. My pan is 2" high.
Thanks!!
Oh also I am using the buttercream dream recipe and it does not say how much it makes
2 sticks butter
1 cup shortening
2lb powdered sugar
2 teaspoons clear vanilla extract
5-6 tablespoons of milk
if anyone knows how many cups this will make please fill me in THANKS
I never go by cups .... I use less than one 2-lb bag of sugar per cake mix. For a 3-mix cake, I'd use two 2-lb bags of sugar and usually have some left over, depending on the design (iced with border ..... less. Iced with border and 37 roses ..... more).
