Hi everyone!
I think this question was asked before, but I can't seem to find it using the search feature.

I need to know how many servings you can get out of the large book cake pan??

Also, if I make an 11x15 sheet to go under it (making it into a double layer cake) do you think that would be too high???

This lady wants the large book pan, but it may not be quite enough to for her guests, so I suggested making it into a double layer so that the cake will be higher and therefore she won't have to cut the pieces as big.

Hope I'm not confusing anyone!

Thanks. icon_smile.gif

The large book pan is approximately 30 servings. I'm using it for a graduation cake and was thinking the same thing about the 11x15 pan. I'm trying to figure out how to put filling between two layers and I don't think I want to go to the trouble of halving it to do so.

Hi, I made a bible for my nephew last year and as I only had the regular book pan I made a rectangular cake same size as the book and put it underneath. Made it look more like a bible, as a bible is quite a thick book anyway. I'd rather have a bit too much cake, than not enough, but as i was not selling that one, being for my nephew, it didn't matter. Had a bit left over for breakfast the next day, yum.

Thank you both for your input.

I'm just concerned that it will be too high. Do you think that will be a problem??

And if I do go double layer as I said in my post above, how many servings do you think I would get??
