I live in a small town and needed some round cake pans. The only ones I could find were 2 3/4 inch pans...not the 2" or 3". They are Wilton Springform pans. Since I needed some quickly, I went ahead and got them. I am just debating on what to do about layers. I want a decent size 2 tier cake, one 12" and one 8". I am using this cake as a donation cake, so the size is completely up to me. What suggestions do you have as far as layers? Should I just bake one layer of each? Should I bake 2 layers of each? Or should I only fill the pans up less than 1/2 so that in essence I get 2" cakes and then make 2 layers for each tier? I am so confused...please help. Thanks.

personally,

I would fill and bake once, then i would torte those layers twice, So you would have 2 layers of filling and three layers of cake, that would bring the cake up where it won't look short and will save the time of baking two layers.

JMHO
