I have a hard time figuring out how many people each pan feeds. i have a few round, square, rectangle and tons of character pans. Is there a list anywhere to see this? a friend sent me the wilton one, but it doesn't have rectangle & character pans.

thanks,
Kat

Don't use that one, it's about 6 servings short for each cake. Use the on on the baking 911 site.

Ok...I am confused. On the chart if you needed 150 servings you would need a 17 inch and a 12 inch besides the top for the anniversary?
I am going to do a 16, 12, 9 and 6 inch so that would give me 90 + 45+ 22 which would + 157 servings? Do I have that correct?
