Today I used my Michaels coupon to get the set of 3 square pans (16, 12 & 8") and in the future want to pick up the round ones. Daughter wants a square base with a round top for the wedding cake.
My question is....there are two sets of rounds, a four tier (2" depth) and a 3 tier (3" depth" which is better to have and why the difference? All sets seem to come in 3" except the square set I got today. Did I get the wrong thing?

And my BIGGEST question............where the heck am I gonna hide this stuff?????

In the closet!!!!!!

I've only used the 2" pans. But, if dd wants a TALL cake, use the 3". But, I would get the 2", if you ever wanted a taller cake, you could collar the pan.

Good Luck!!

I think the 2" square is nice then you can have double layers too if you want. I love the 3" rounds you just tort them and have such nice height. It is personal preference which you want.

hahahaha thanks!! If you get the 2" you do get the extra "mini" pan so I was leaning towards those. Just wasn't sure what is typically used for wedding cake. She doesn't want a tall cake, just the two bottom layers bottom and two round layers.....total 8" max...no colums
We should start a thread "best hiding spots for decorating equipment"!!!

Is this your first wedding cake?

What's nice about the 3" pans is you can make a three layer cake out of one, instead of making 2 pans for a 4 layer. Does that make sense?
