Hi everybody,
I want to practice on tiered cakes as I have never done one before. I'd like to do a 3 tier cake.
My question is what is the most popular sizes for a 3 tier cake? For instance a 10, 8, and 6..... I am gonna buy the cake pans for practice, so I'd like to buy ones that will be used a lot. Hope that makes sense. Anyway TIA for your help.
CC Rocks!!
Thank you tiptop57, I didn't know about the 3" rule of thumb. That helped me quite a bit! I'm gonna go look for cake pans now.
I much prefere a 4" difference
Also that would make the pan sizes all in even sizes (6,10,14,16). Odd size pans are(at least used to be) hard to find.
Do measure your oven both from side to side and front to back to see what the biggest pan is that will fit into the oven & still be able to close the door! M any a person has purchased a 16" pan only to find it would not fit. Also remember sq pans have a extra 1/2"(?) 'lip' on each side so you have to figure that into your figures.
