I have to ask this because it's sitting at the pit of my tummy!!!!!!!!!!!!


How are really big cakes filled???? Are they two cakes one on top of eachother or are they one big cake cut in half??



TIA

When I have to make a "BIG CAKE". The size I use is a 14" round. I bake two cake mixes twice and then add a filling.. It comes out to be about 4 to 4 1/2 inches thick.. For a normal order I bake two cake mixes, cut then fill..

Thanks briansbaker. I guess that would be the easiest way to do it!!! I had to ask because cake is so delicate and I couldn't imagine cutting a huge cake in half and removing the top in order to fill it!!! I figured it must've been two cakes!!!!

You can bake two cakes and put filling between, but you can also cut the cake in half and use a flat cookie sheet or a cake board to slide the top of the cake onto as you lift it off. It all depends on how comfortable you feel.

OMG Deb,
I made a 12" round cake and cut it in half to fill (it was my first time) I stuck a cake coard into the cake while I was lifting it with a spatula and I thought I was gonna have a heart attack in the process because I was soooo worried that it was going to fall or break!!!! LOL

There are these white sort-of foam-core boards called "TUFf" boards that I got at my cake supply store. Somehow when I use these to slip between the halves of a layer I've cut, I don't feel as nervous as when I use the cardboards. They seem a bit easier to slide. An 12 x 18 rectangle is about $3.50 here, which is definitley a lot more than cardboard, but you can wash and reuse for a long time.
