This should feed 105 people (assuming each tier is actually 2 cake layers)!!
I don't know about a convection oven, but I always use a core on anything over 10" size... just make sure you grease & flour it well!
I'm not sure about the serving sizes, but I would recommend using flower nails instead of the heating core. I use the flower nails because they are just as effective and you're not left with a big hole in the middle of your cakes. Hope this helps!

I always use the flower nail, too. Never have a problem with the cakes not getting done. I don't know about the convection oven, though. It wouldn't hurt to use it anyway just to make sure. I spray it with PAM before I put it in and it comes out great.
since wilma, hard to drive around, so, can you very nice persons tell me how to do flower nail trick? thank you. I had never heard of heating core until yesterday.
Just grease/flour the flower nail like you do the pan, turn it upside down in middle of the pan (so that the large part rests on bottom of the pan), fill pan with batter. when it's done, just pop it out. You only have a little hole (compared to the big hole a premade heating core leaves). i've used it on a 10-in. round the large flower nail and worked perfectly!
