I was asked to do a sheet cake for a baby shower. I'm making a 12 x 18 x 2. I don't usually do sheet cakes, and the more I look at it, the more I think it isn't "tall" enough. When you make sheet cakes, do you make them 1 layer or 2? My cake is 1/2 white 1/2 chocolate, so I was thinking about baking another layer and stacking them, but then it would be almost 4 inches tall, and that sounds TOO tall for a sheet cake.
Any suggestions?
You can do it both ways. There isn't a right or a wrong. If you do it 4 inches tall, like your regular cakes, you cut it in the wedding sizes. If you do it single layer then people usually cut it 2x2 squares.
for 15 yrs.. i have only baked the one layer.. 2" high.. most people don,t say to torte them and fill them.. sometimes they do.. i have never doubled the layers.. lots of people do.. you get more money of course for the 2 layers.. and yes.. then you cut them different..
I fill my sheet cake pans with extra cake mix and let it bake over the top a bit. Then I level it and end up with a nice size. I also always adding filling to my sheet cakes because I like how pretty those filled pieces look when they are served 
Thank you for the fast replies. I'll keep it at one layer. I can't believe I've never baked a sheet cake before!
