Can you bake two 9x13 cakes and put them together (side by side) to make a bigger cake or is it better to just get a bigger pan? If you can do it, will you be able to see where the two cakes are put together?

I have done that before, you can ice your cake really good and you will never notice the difference thumbs_up.gif

Yes you can do this. If you look in my photos and check out the orange chazy hockey cake I made it is 2 11X15's side by side. One is white and one is chocolate. You can't even tell.

i always do my 12x18's that way. just make sure your board is sturdy, so you don't end up with a huge crack down the center of your cake when you try to move it!!! i actually use a piece of plywood under mine. hth icon_smile.gif

I used 2 9X13's when I made the clothes line cake (in my photos) with the Nebraska Onesie and the OU blanket......I did put a board under my cardboard cakeboard so that it wouldnt crack.

Now when you get ready to cut the cake, do you cut it first where the 2 cakes are put together or does it matter?

to be honest, I wasnt there when it was cut, but I had put a bit of buttercream in between the two layers, so I figured is someone got a half choc/half white piece....it would just be a bonus!

I don't think it matters unless the person getting the piece has a preference. Then you would cut them either a piece of white or a piece of chocolate or whatever flavors you have used.

You can use mdf for the cake, since it will be bigger and a regular board could bend.

I did this not long ago. I baked 1 layer each of yellow and choc cake. I could not bake them together because they had to bake at 2 diff times and temps. I baked 1 layer of each, cut them in half, filled and stacked them side by side (customer wanted 1/2 choc 1/2 yellow cake). No seam. It is the Mardi Gras cake in my pics.
