I'm looking for either a 2 or 3 inch pan and I can't find any and I need them in less than 2 weeks, anyone know where I could locate some or if they even make them. I just bought (5 ) 4inch springform as a backup plan. If I can't find any should I just make a cake in a pan and then use a cookie cutter to cut out the size I need? sorry, I'm trying to think of different options.

I have those sizes, but they came in the set of mini pans, hard as heck to ice and decorate.

Could you possibly use a soup can or something like that, evidently a few ccers have done that in a pinch. Janice

Try www.bakingtools.com they have pans starting at 2 inch diameter they also have 3 inch. You can get 2 inch or 3 inch deep in bare aluminum or duracoat finish. They have fast delivery if they are in stock.

I have several different size soup mugs that are oven safe.They work perfect for mini wedding cakes. Make sure that they don't have the rounded bottom or your cake will look like half of a ball. I got mine at the dollar store. Good luck!!

try a cupcake pan ... they may not be straight edges, but at least it would the size you're needing

I was just thinking, a vienna sausage can is about that size, but they do have a little ridge around the bottom, but it is flat, I think. Just an idea. Janice

It will probably be easier to cut the small cakes from a sheet cake with a 3" cutter. It will also be much cheaper.

yeah, I'm all about keeping costs as low as possible. This is for my first paid cake order so i'm kind of stressing a little since I've never attempted something soooo small before.

Those little cakes are awful to ice, and if you are going to cut them, all those raw sides are going to be a nightmare. Can you make a pourable icing, do them like petite fours? Janice

They don't mind if there is a pourable icing, I just have never done one, does any one on here have a good recipe or any tips for a pourable icing.
