What Is The Criteria For A Mini Cake And When Are They Used?
Decorating By Richard Updated 3 Mar 2006 , 2:30am by confectionaryperfection
When I think of mini cake I think of either the small centerpiece cakes placed on tables at weddings or smash cakes for little ones.
They sell mini pans and you can decorate them just like a wedding cake.
sometimes people will literally order hundreds of these and give one to each guest at a wedding......or use them as the centerpiece and the divy up the cake for the people at that particular table!!! I dread ever getting an order of them one for each guest yikes!!!! well wait............that would be a ton of money so maybe not LOL
I use them all the time. I have a set of 3, 4 & 5 inch pans that look awesome stacked like a wedding cake.
I am still looking for paper or plastic box's to deliver them in though. 
I'm not sure on the dementions, but check out the coffee mugs next to them for size reference. You can do a google search for mini tiered cake pan set.
I have a little pan that is two tiers together, 3" and 2". I put it on top of a 4" and it's adorable. 
Sometimes I go as big as a 6", 4", and 2" and still call it a mini.
**added** there are several of these in my photos if you want to look!
In the early 70's the "in thing", in my area was mini teired wedding cakes.Wilton used to sell the pans, seperator plates, pillers, and carboard round as a whole package. I used it for a lot of small occasions that needed a simple elegant cake.
I also sold them cheep to couples that could'nt afford a large cake.
Does anyone remember those pans?
mine are 1", 2" amd 3"
anything bigger i dont consider mini cause mine are alowasy usede one per guest or as favors. i do hundreds of these at a time!
