As per the wilton serving chart 9X13 sheet pan serves 45!! Is that true???

For 45 serving should I just bake the cake , tort ,fill... will give me sigle layer or should I bake two cakes to give me 2 layer???

I'm sooooo confused! This will be my first sheet cake icon_cry.gif

I checked this too myself because 45 servings from a 9x13 seems like a lot! Hopefully, someone can answer both of us. I think it's 45 servings, no matter how many layers. More layers just means more cake in each serving.

That sounds like it would have to be tiny pieces.

I think the 3" high 9x13 I have that I torte and fill once would feed about 24.

Anyone else? Now I'm confused thumbsdown.gif

When my clients order a 9x13/quarter sheet cake from me, I tell them they can get 24 (2x2x2) servings from a single layer, or 48 (1x2x4) servings from a 2-layer cake.

Here's some math I just worked out: If you cut 1"x3" slices, you would get 39 slices out of the cake...a larger slice at ~2"x3" would get around 20 slices.

If you look at the title of the column on the Wilton chart, it is called, "Number Servings 2 Layer". So, yes, you would bake two 9x13 layers and stack them to make a 4-inch high cake. thumbs_up.gif

I hate going by the wilton chart but....

I actually tell people if they want to serve "their" party size" pieces and they have more than 25 people, to go with a 10 x 15. I have never served, at one of my kids parties, a 1 x 3 or a 2 x 2 piece lol I guess we like em jethro sized icon_biggrin.gif
