I just started cake decorating and I've taken the first two Wilton courses. I'm thinking about investing in nice pans...tired of 8 inch round cakes!!!

I think I want to buy the Magic line pans, but I'm not sure if I want to order the 2-inch or 3-inch pans.

Which do you prefer? What are the advantages/disadvantage? How does it change the bake time? Any suggestions/comments would be helpful! TIA

I only have the 2" pans. Never tried the 3" so I'm not much help. I would advise buying a good quality pan though.

Magic Line pans = the best. You will never regret investing in great pans.

2" I think bake best. I gave away my 3" deep pans because I didn't like them.

Leah is right - Magic Line pans. I have a lot of round Wilton pans and have always used them and never knew what I was missing until I decided I wanted to try doing square cakes. I order Magic Line and I was amazed at the difference. WOW!! Love them and want to replace my round pans with Magic Line.

They bake so much better and the straight sides are just wonderful. I also use 2 inch and was undecided if I should get 3 inch but after reading a lot of threads on CC I decided to stick with the 2 inch.

Thanks for the replies. I bought the 3 inch round Wilton set and never opened them. I think I will return them and order all magic line pans in 2 inch.

Do you have a preferred website from which you order? Thanks!

Definitely 2". I ordered my magic line pans from www.countrykitchensa.com. I think you get 10% off your order if it's over $100. That might have changed, not sure.

I have both 2in and 3in rounds...I would say I like the 2in better.

I like my 3 inch pans because I always have the option of baking 2 or 3 inches.
