I'm not sure where you can find them but if all else fails you can line the sides of a 2 in. pan with 3 in. or higher parchment paper to get a taller cake.

ok, thanks, I will try that, or just go with the basic 8inch 2inch high, since it is a cake for class not going anywhere.....


I'm doing a cake in fondant, first time to use that stuff........

Thanks

Oh, well if that's what you need it for--you could just do a double layer with the 2" deep pan--I think they're just looking for the cake to be at least 3" high. I did the double layer, torted and filled and it was just over 4" in height and worked fine.

Most of my students usually split a cake mix between two 8x2 pans and usually end up with a 3in tall cake. If you cake is a little over 3 inches you should have plenty of fondant to cover it anyway. icon_smile.gif
