I think it depends on the dimensions/size of the cake....what is the size of the cake?

Well, a little good old geometry will figure it out. How big is the pan? How big is the piece? A standard full sheet seems to be 18x24 based on my quick googling, and a standard piece 2x3. That gives you 72 pieces. Smaller pieces feeds more people, bigger pieces feeds less.

Okay, here is your answer:

A 9X13 (1/4 sheet) will serve will serve 24 2X2 pieces.
A 12X18 (1/2 sheet) will serve 54 2X2 pieces.
