Half Sheet Cake Pan Aluminum Trays 1 2 Sheet Cake Pan Disposable Baking Pan

Half sheet cake pan, also known as 1 2 baking pan, is a rectangular pan that measures approximately 9 inches by 13 inches and has a depth of approximately 1.5 inches.
This pan size is considered a "half sheet" because it is half the size of a full-sheet cake pan, which measures 18 inches by 26 inches. Half-sheet cake pans are a popular choice among home bakers and professional kitchens due to their practical size and versatility.
The straight sides and heavy-duty construction of the pan ensure even heat distribution. Half-sheet cake pans are easy to handle and lightweight, making them easy to move in and out of the oven. In addition to baking, these pans can be used for a variety of tasks, such as cooling baked goods, transporting food, and even as a makeshift baking rack.

How many people does a 1/2 sheet cake serve?

A half sheet cake will generally serve 18-24 people, depending on how the cake is sliced.

• If the cake is cut into standard 2" x 3" rectangular pieces, a half sheet cake will provide 18 servings.
• For slightly smaller 2" x 2" square slices, a half sheet cake will provide 24 servings.
• Some bakeries or caterers may cut the cake into smaller 1.5" x 2" pieces, which would allow a half sheet cake to provide 30 or more servings.
• The exact number of servings also depends on factors such as whether there is filling or frosting between the cake layers, as this will affect the thickness of each slice.

As a general guideline, a half sheet cake (13" x 18") will easily feed 18-24 people when cut into standard rectangular or square slices.
