I have a customer who wants a 10" round. Now do I make it wedding style two -2" pans stacked, so it is 4" or can I do 1 2" torte and fill. or do I make the 2 pans but make them thinner. It is only for a couple of people but she would like extra to have. Now the 10 x 4" serves almost 40. Thats alot of cake. What do you all think

Thanks
Nikki

Did she say why she wants such a large pan size? I always use a 9in round for my birthday cakes and such and I use 2 layers. I usually only torte sheet cakes.

I personally would bake two 2"pans and stack. I think if you would bake one 2" pan and then torte it would be a really small cake. Same thing if you did two 2" pans thinner.

If you make the one pan cake, you could split it into three thin layers and ice between them, however there will be more icing than cake. If you go with the two pans, the cake will shine through and the icing will be the accent.

I like a tall 4 inch cake. Even with a 9 inch cake, it would probably still look small with only one 2 inch layer. I think it's also much easier to bake 2 than to torte the one cake....but I'm just a little lazy that way.
