What size pan would I use to make a closed book cake and how many layers of cake should the book be?

I would like to make a stacked book cake, using three books.

Thanks in advance,
Cynita

how "fat" do you want the books to be?

thin -- half a layer

normal -- 1 layer

big -- 2 layers

dictionary -- 3 or 4 even (for those unabridged monsters)

as to size -- again just how big of a book are you looking for

paperback? 1 layer 9x13 cut in half or smaller

textbook? 1 to 2 layers all the way up to full 9x13

-------

hint -- get some real books of the sizes you want and measure them and then cut cakes to match
