Can I make half the WASC recipe (but I'm actually making chocolate icon_razz.gif ) to make 10" and 6" round cakes? Has anyone else done this size combo? The pans are the 2" deep and it's one layer each. I don't want to have to make the full recipe (ie. two boxes) if I don't have to... Please help icon_cry.gif I need to start baking in a couple of hours. TIA

I'm not a pro by any means, but I've done this twice and it's worked out just fine. I made 2-8 inch layers that were 2 inches high.

A quick way to find out is by figuring how much water the pans will hold to make them 2/3 full. I think the WASC makes approx. 6 cups, if this helps.

I add instant pudding and 1/4 cup oil to the half recipe of the WASC recipe and get a full three inch cake. All I have done is the half recipe. I will be making the double recipe when I do my son's wedding cake.

icon_biggrin.gif Thanks for your input you all! I finally made the cake. I came up w/ only the 10" cake. But fortunately I had more DH mix and I made a doctored box (of my own creation icon_rolleyes.gif ) so I could make the 6" (and 8" for family icon_wink.gif ). I'm glad we got to taste it because it made up the top tier of an ordered cake. It's in my pics. Thanks again for your answers thumbs_up.gif
