Okay, I hate to ask you guys this question that has been asked a million times, but I can't find it in the forums!!
Could someone help me or direct me to the cake pan sizes. For ex., is a 11x15 cake a half sheet or a whole sheet??
Also, I'm only charging someone 20.00 for an 11x15, I know I'm undercharging and I won't do it again. It's just for a basic cake with buttercream icing and balloons saying "Happy Birthday"; what would you guys charge??
Thanks for your help!!! ![]()
I sell a 11x15 for $35.00. I consider the 12x18 a half sheet, and I use 2 of those for my whole sheet. I guess a 9x13 would be a 1/3 sheet and 11x15 would be a 1/4 sheet.
I have been researching this and here is what I have found from many different threads:
9x13 is a 1/4 sheet.
2- 9x13 (makes 12x1
together make a 1/2 sheet or a 13x18 pan as well
A whole is 4- 9x13 (makes 16x24) or a 18x26 pan but most cannot fit in the oven.
11x15 is a 1/3 sheet.
Pricing, I havn't come up with so can't help you there. I would probably charge about 25 for a simple 1/4 sheet, but I am just starting out.

I would definately charge more next time. At least $35.00 for 11x15.
I knew I wasn't charging enough. They want me to do a cake every month, so I told my dH to let them know, that I will charge them 20.00 for a smaller cake, but if they want this size again, I will have to charge them more.
I called around to some different bakeries (including Wal-Mart) and the prices ranged from 21.47 to 48.00; and this was just for a basic cake saying "happy birthday" with some roses!!!!
I'm new at this, so hopefully, I'll get this pricing thing and pan size together.
It varies on your area.
I'm in southside VA.
I sell a 1/4 sheet for $20
1/2 sheet for $35
full sheet for $55
That's for a basic Happy Bday with a couple of flowers. I don't torte my basic sheet cakes. For actually images and more detailed designs, the price starts to go up from there.
I don't use 11x15, well, just because no one has asked for it, but I would probably go between $25 - $30 as a base price. HTH
I have a large cookie sheet- think it's the Wilton one- it has a lip on one side which makes it easy to hold onto while sliding it btwn the layers. Before that I just used a large cake board. It's not hard to do. I just prefer to torte all of my cakes- that layer of buttercream or ganache or filling just adds sooooo much to the cake, and it adds a little height too.
