This may sound silly, but when you do sheet cakes, do you do them as one layer or two layers with buttercream in the middle?

In my area, a sheet cake is defined as "single layer (usually rectangle), no filling, iced".

Thanks! That's kinda what I thought too, I notice some to the Wilton cakes in their books appear to be two layers. A friend has asked to to do one for a wedding shower and I wasn't sure if I should make it one layer or two. By the way you are not too far from me, I am 21 mi west of Cincinnati.

practically neighbors!

I have seen both. One layer sheet cakes or for more to have them torted and filling added. I love fillings so whenever I ordered one in the past I went that route.

Unfortunately I live in 'sheet cake country', rofl......I mainly have done them 1 layer.......I try to talk the client into double layers....I had a 3 tiered wedding cake this weekend...and I LOVED DOING IT. It was such a welcome change.

Indydebi or someone, could you please tell me what a standard, half and quarter sheet sizes are? Do you use a 2, 3 or 4 inch? My searches show mixed results. Thanks.

I always understood a sheet cake to be one layer with frosting, but no filling. If two layers were needed more money is charged for the additonal cake.

It depends on what the customer wants. Most of the time it's one 'solid' piece of cake, but I do have customers who love them filled.

Thanks SugarFrosted.
