I need to make cake(s) for 125-150 people and don't know where to begin. I
will make sheet cakes but don't know what sizes and how much they will
serve. And also how much batter or how many mixes to use for each pan.
Thanks for any and all help!!!

Sheet cakes
1/4 sheet with 2 layers of cake and 1 layer of filling wil feed 20- 25 people
1/4 sheet with 3 layers of cake and 2 layers of filling will feed 30-35 people
1/2 sheet with 2 layers of cake and 1 layer of filling will feed 45-50 people
1/2 sheet with 3 layers of cake and 2 layers of filling will feed 55 - 70
people
3/4 sheet with 2 layers of cake and 1 layer of filling will feed 75-85 people
full sheet with 2 layers of cake and 1 layer of filling will feed between 85
and 100 people.
Full sheet with 3 layer of cake and 2 layers of filling should feed between
120 and 150 people.
As for batter per pan, i use 2 boxes of cake mix per 1/4 of a sheet. This way
the cake is high enough to form a decent size layer of cake. i f you are doing
a full sheet <i never made one but have made a half sheet and believe i used 4
boxes of cake mix> you have to fill the pan at least half way with cake mix so
the layer is of a good height.
Remember not everyone will eat cake and im sure you are likely to have other
desserts and such at this gathering. Heres just another lil something i
learned. Cookie trays are done per pound usually, and 1 pound of the bakery
type cookies typically serves 6 people. Or so that was our guide in the bakery
where i worked.
I dont remember all the round equivilents. as far as cake sizes go. i really
do hope the stuff i do remember helps... I know the 16" round was the largest
our bakery delt with
as far as round cakes go, and i know that you were probably better off getting
a sheet cake at the time. Good luck with the cake. And if ya need anymore
information let me know ill see what i can do/remember

You can use a 1/2 sheet pan (12/18). It is the largest sheet pan that will fit
in a standard oven. Each one makes 48 2x2" servings. Use 16 cups of cake
batter (3 mixes if you use those) and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or
untill done.
