I'm not quite sure. I would assume you would torte it the same way you would a smaller round or square cake. I'll be making an 11x15 for a Superbowl cake soon and plan on using a filling also. I would probably freeze it til very firm and then torte the cake. I'm sure someone else will have a better idea, sorry I couldnt be of more help!

I use a cake board to seperate the two layers after I cut it. Gently push the board in between the layers so the top layer is on the board. Then when you have the filling in hold it over the cake and push it off into place.

I have started using a flexible cutting board instead of a cake board. I would always get cake goo on my boards and just hated wasting them. The Cake board is working great for me so far.

Thanks for the replies. I'll let you know which one I try.

I've done it where I've torted, filled and then replaced the top back on which was pretty tricky. I just went through this again with a 12x18 but this time I baked 2 thinner layers rather than 1 thick cake. That way I didn't have to torte. Just filled and stacked. Worked much easier and I didn't have to worry about crooked torting which I do very well

That's a great tip about using a cutting board instead of cake board. I hate wasting them too. I'm going to look for a big cutting board next time I go to the store.

I do this often with great success.
I measure the height that I want the layer to be and then I make a cut right around the cake (obviously measuring as I go along). Then I take twine thread and place it along the cuts right around the entire cake and then crossing the two ends of the thread I pull in opposite directions and that cuts the cake. I then toss the top half onto a board and when I'm done filling I just toss it back.

Hope this helps

Here's a previous thread on torting a large sheet cake:

a metal cookie sheet (one with no rim) works very well too.
