I will be making a 2 tier cake soon, 12" and 8". Anyone know how many boxes of cake mix I'll need? Thank you!
Each of the 12 inch layers will take about a box and a half and then probably one box for both the 8 in layers so id say about 4 or maybe even 5 to be saf and have taller layers

On that chart ^^^ there's a column that lists how many cups of batter you need for each layer--invaluable for figuring out how much to buy.
In a box mix there's approx 5 cups of batter
In wasc there's approx 7-8 cups
In any given cake recipe there's probably more like 6-8 cups of batter all depending on the recipe.
If you use my *original* WASC cake recipe you will need a total of 3 mixes plus a few other ingredients to make 2 layer of each size.
Each 12" round will use one total WASC recipe. Both 8" layers will be made from the other one.

rounds or squares? Just remember that squares require more batter.
I'd get 6 just because I hate to run out and have to make a dash to the store.
Yep I use 1 1/2mix for 12" rounds and 2mixes for 12" squares. I use 1 mix for 2-8" rounds More for 8" squares, So 4 mixes if rounds 5-6 for squares. Make some cupcakes with the extra batter. I make the large cupcakes and freeze them for my samples.

I almost always over buy!
edited to say if I don't over buy it makes me nervous. It's easier to overbuy and use it for the next project than to plan an unscheduled trip to the store/s during the construction. That's just moi.
