According to wilton the 12x18 double layer cake will feed 36. That would be small slices though.

Locally, a 12x18 half sheet single layer will serve 54 (2"tall x 2"deep x 2"wide)
A 12x18 double layer half sheet will serve 108 (4"tall x 2"deep x 1"wide)

In most cases those sizes will be enough cake for most people, especially after dinner, and more especially if served with ice cream.

If you or your client requires more cake, make more cake and cut bigger pieces.

36 servings would be a a single 12x18 cake, not a double layer....

Well you need to decide how big you want your slices to be. a single layer 2x2x2 for a 12x18 =(6x9)=54 or for a double layer I would do maybe 1x3x4=(12x6)=72. or 1x2x4= (12x9) =108 pieces. Just have to do some math!
