It doesn't really matter what you call your cakes, everyone seems to have different names for them anyway. If you're taking orders ask how many the cake will be serving.

I use the traditional 9X13 for my quarter sheet size. You need to know how many the cake will be serving to determine the size of the cake. I hope this helps some.

In the thread below are a couple of links discussing sizes of sheet cakes and number of servings.

In a nut-shell, don't get hung up on the label. Most consumers have no idea how big a "full sheet" is anyway. They'll ask you how much is a half sheet then turn right around and ask you how many it serves. That's why I refuse to use the terms. I ask them how many people they need to feed then *I* tell THEM what size cake they need.
