has anyone ever done a 24 inch round? my instructor and i discussed it and having to do (for each layer) a 12 inch center then carving and piecing cakes together like a wagon wheel around the center to get the other 6 inches on each side.
The person wants a BIG round cake so they could put all their candles on the outer edge of the cake like in single file line. The party is for approximately 150 invitees. they want it tall but I probably would do a dummy on the bottom to give it height for appearance and then two layers of cake.
has anyone ever done this, or sometign similar?
tips and costs would help as i need to give this person and estimate
yes It iwll fit. I have double doors at home and a van that will fit.
You may also want to consider the entrance door to where you are delivering the cake to. Just a thought...
I will be very interested to hear what everyone has to say about this. Maybe you could draw us a diagram when you're finished! 24 in?? That's so huge!
I shudder at the thought of this cracking. Sorry, I have not done anything bigger than 18" round.
the entrance door to the location is fine as well.
regarding cracking. the frosting would be the thing to worry about I guess.
I may be able to do 18 inches. I have to check the servings
If this helps, I found 20" round cake pans at www.cooksdream.com. I can't find anything bigger in my online search.
I would probably not use a pan that large, but rather do it like my instructor told me to do it with the 12 inch center and the pieces on the perimeter of it. She did a wedding cake using that method (it was a replica of rumps I think. here is the link to the pic of the cake

Julie, that is a thought! less cakes I have to make and carve LOL..
That is how they taught my 5yo how to make a circle in kindergarten.. make a square, cut the corners off. then cut the corners off again and waaa laaa LOL
Steplite.... I've used a flower nail (I read that tip on CC) instead of a heating core, and I bake at 340 degrees instead of 350...takes a little longer, but I've never burned or had a dry cake that way with the larger sizes.
JulieB....what a great idea!
Well I just finished my 14x3 inch cake. Boy did it take a long time. (100 min.) It was a pound cake. The directions say 85 minutes @325. I had the turn the oven down to 300 after a hour because it was getting too brown. In all it came out very well. I used a really BIG flower nail and it came right out no problem.
My 14x3 only takes about 45-60 mins. I use three flower nails and bake @ 325.
