I don't remember the sizes exactly but it is called a full sheet pan and it will not fit in a standard home oven. The biggest that will fit is a half sheet pan.

Restaurant supply houses have them of course but I think I have seen them at Bed Bath & Beyond as well. Costco used to sell them but I don't know if they still do. I haven't looked recently.

You can piece together smallersheetcakes to make a bigger cake. It's entirely up to you if you want to do styro. on the bottom. Have you done a tiered cake before?

Unless you can bake your cake(s) in a professional sized oven, a "full sheet" pan won't do you any good.

If you're limited to the "half sheet" pan by a home oven, then I would bake a couple of half sheet cakes and then perform surgery on the cakes to transform them into a cross on a large sheet of heavy cardboard. A cross is a simple geometric pattern, so it should be easy to cut the two half-sheet cakes into the proper pieces and create a large cross. Heck, you could even go bigger and use more half sheet cakes.

Once the cake is the proper shape and size, you can frost and decorate to your heart's content.

Hope this helps.
