I'm trying to finish putting my brochure together, and I'm to the Sheet Cake section.

I've seen "full sheet" as an 18 x 26 and 12 x 18 as "half sheet".

I also always see 9 x 13 sold as "quarter sheet".

So what's an 11 x 15? A 3/4 sheet???

Help! I need this brochure finished today!

EDIT: Wait! that doesn't make sense either--11 x 15 is smaller than 12 x 18...

If 12 x 18 is half and 9 x 13 is quarter, 11 x 15 would be ...WHAT?

I'm lost.

I would give the dimensions of the cakes not even call them 1/4 or 1/2 WHY because a 9x13 is bigger than a 1/4 sheet cake. and a 12x18 is bigger than a 1/2 sheet just go look at the cakes at walmart.

it is easier to justify why yours cost more. because they are getting more

Yeah, plus you have customers who call a 9x13 a sheet cake lol

Definitely just go with measurements, not names.

Thanks, guys.

For a basic sheet with shell borders, I charge $2.75 a serving, but that's just me...and I don't do party cakes much (try to avoid them), mostly weddings.

I had called around at bakeries awhile back and each said 12x16 is a half sheet. I haven't been able to fined any that size so I have 12x15. What the bakeries use are jelly roll pans that have been collared with parchment.
