Help! Need to make a chocolate dessert (probably some type of sheet cake) for 300 people. Trying to make it easy and economical.

I am making apple crisp for 60 people would you happen to have a recipe that is simple but also yummy.

I have been asked to make 10 dozen dinner rolls and need them by 11:30 A.M. this Saturday November 10. Got a good recipe for making several dozen at a time? I need about 6 or 7 dozen wheat and 4 dozen white. Thanks for your help.

the perfect all american layer cake in the cake bible. check out the wedding cake section. probably a good idea to do the 18 x 12 sheet cake for ample portions. the recommended amounts there are for wedding cakes.

I need to bake a "from scratch" chocolate cake with chocolate frosting that serves 25....looking for a good recipe that will serve a crowd and that is totally homemade...thanks!

o.k. sheila, think in terms of one person. one person would eat max. 3/4 pound of potatoes at one sitting so multiply this by 18 and you'll be sure to have enough.

i'm a baker not a potato masher or quantity cooker!

How many lbs of potatoes needed to make mashed potatoes for 18 people

people usually eat 4 to 6 oz. per serving so multiply it by the number of people. and add 10% more to be sure to have enough.

How do you figure the amount of an item (ie: pounds of potato salad) to prepare for a certain number of people?

i'm a cook for 6 people maximum kind of cook so i hope someone else out there can give you the benefit of their experience.

Having a graduation brunch/open house for about 200 people. Serving egg casseroles, fresh fruit and pastries...juice, milk and coffee. Any suggestions on amounts to buy, etc.?

How much sausage is needed to feed 40 people?

to calculate the amount of ham you would need for 200 sandwiches make one sandwich and weigh the amount of ham you used. then multiply it by 220 so you have extra just to be safe (ham keeps well).
if you don't have a scale, judge by the amount that was in the package.

I am in charge of cooking an evening meal on St. Valentines Day for our community. The group should number about 80 people. I would really like to do something special, like a roast of some kind preceeded by soup or a salad. Can anyone help with suggestions???? Thank You

I have to make sandwiches for 200 people at a family reunion this summer. How do you calculate the amount of meat needed? Example: How many pounds of ham would I buy to make 50 sandwiches?
