An 8-inch round cake serves 10-12
9-inch round, 12-14 servings.
10-inch round cake provides 18-20 servings.
11-inch round serves 25-35.
12-inch round cake provides between 35-50 servings.
9x13 rectangular cake (quarter sheet cake)
provides 20-30 servings
11x15 (almost a half-sheet cake) serves 40-60
12x18 half sheet serves as many as 80.
Take into consideration whether or not this is the only dessert served, or if other things will be offered to your guests when trying to decide on a size.

I would go with two 13 x 9 inch pans, stacked on top of each other. My son works in a bakery and they use 10 inch pans. They each have three layers of cake. They get 12 servings out of this cake, but they are huge due to it being three layers. I used to be the official birthday cake maker at my work and I would make the two 13 x 9 cakes and there was more than enough due to being able to cut the pieces smaller since you have two cakes instead of one.

I worked in a bakery as a cake decorator. One 9 X 13 cake will serve 24 people.

In my experience, women take one slice of cake because it looks more proper and they don't want to gain weight. And guys will easily gobble down two pieces.
