How Many Cake Mixes For Sheet Cake

How many cake mixes does it take to do a 1/ii canvas cake? I believe the pan is 13x18 and 2" deep. TIA

12x18 = fourteen cups of batter co-ordinate to wilton

(their chart: http://www.wilton.com/cake/cakeprep/baking/times/party_2inch.cfm )

and so at 4 to 5.five cups per box mix....

that would be 3 to 4 boxes of block mix.

----
i'd probably do the 4 and use leftovers for cupcakes or small rounds that could get cakeballs

-----

and I'd probably practise the extender recipe too: http://world wide web.cakecentral.com/cake_recipe-1977-0-Block-Mix-extender.html

with this, since it makes more than, iii mixes would be plenty
-----

and I know I'd play around mix different flavors together to get a custom gustatory modality --- my fav is to mix butter recipe w/ french vanilla and use all butter for the oil and milk for the water.

I use iii mixes and the blistering strips and it works ok. 4 mixes would make a nice tall cake!

I use ii in each, then trim the dome off and stack them, information technology makes the cake a fleck higher, which looks dainty. It'southward only around a dollar for each (if I get them at WalMart, not my supermarket) and that's easier for me than mixing three and dividing information technology in one-half.

I use 3 in an eleven x xv, then I would utilize 4 in the 13 x xviii.

I use iii Pillsbry archetype yellowish, with no extender recipe.

I use DH...3 mixes fills the 12x18" sheet only right for me!

I use three for a 12x18.. i retrieve 4 would bake over the top.

I use a practiced portion of 3 mixes.

I just fabricated a 12x18 cake last night and I apply four mixes; 2white and 2 chocolate. HTH

For all of you that use 4 mixes in this pan:

Is this a ii" deep pan or is information technology three" deep?
What brand of mixes are y'all using?

(Not trying to starting time anything, merely curious! I use three and still take to trim the "cron" off my cakes. I figure if I used 4 DH mixes in my two" deep pan, a good potion of the batter would exist baking on the oven'due south floor, LOL!)
