I am wanting to do a checkerboard cake, But I can not find anywhere about how many cups of batter to make. Anyone know?
Also I received some small pans that do not have this information with them either. I know to fill them about 2/3 full. So can I use water to fill it then measure the water? This sounds logical to me, however it doesnt' mean it is! 
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Leily
I am not the best one to answer this question but I will try. I have the checkered pan that is 9 inch and has 3 pans. I used packaged cake mix one of each yellow and one of chocolate and I still had enough to make some cupcakes with the eft over batter. ( 8 I think)
Does that help?
That helps me for tonight 
Thanks for the response. I wanted to make a checkered board cake for tomorrow. I have a friends party to go to and said i'd bring dessert of course! I ended up making two cake mixes and had a few cupcakes also (which are almost gone now)
Although I am still wondering if anyone knows aproximately the cups needed for the following pans. They are Magic Line and 2" deep:
2"
3"
4"
5"
6"
8"
The 6 and 8 I will assume is comparable to wilton, however the 2-5 inch I am not sure on. I am looking for estimates so that I can figure out which cake pans to bake together.
Thanks again.

go to this wilton site and to the bottom of the page where it says party....2inch and it will tell you the amount of batter, baking time etc.
