Help Please With Sheet Cake.
Decorating By cookiecakemonster Updated 22 Apr 2008 , 10:24pm by terrylee
I have to do a sheet cake this weekend.
They want it filled.
My cake tin is 2 inches deep so do i make 2 sheets or can i use the leveler to cut the one layer.
i'm scared the cake with break.
another question.
If i cut the cake up in halves will the notice after i have iced it all up?
thank you!!!
if i cut it in halves do you think they will notice?
Whether you torte the cake or use 2 sheets is up to you...it depends on how high you want the cake. I find that when I torte and fill, the cake just doesn't seem high enough. On the other hand, when I make 2 sheets, not only is it more work making the other cake, but sometimes they seem too high! But it is easier with 2 cakes to just stack the cakes together, and overall, I like the height.
The choice is yours...

How many people will you be serving I make them all the time if you look in my pics you'll see I can serve 70 people with a 2 layer sheet cake I make them a day ahead (before decorating) sometimes I will make a one layer but I usually will double my recipe for a sheet cake in order for it to be thick enough to tort then I put the extra layer (after leveling) on a cake board and just flip it back onto the cake after I fill it I like to double layer because I find it easier to decorate the sides

I do a 2" sheet cake. When I bake it I line the pan with non stick spray and waxed paper.
If it's a 9x13 I can split the layer and the waxed paper holds the top slice together for handleing. If it's a full sheet cake I usually split in half and then split the top slice for better handling.
I have always lined all my pans with waxed paper and haven't found it to change the texture or anything while baking.
