Is there somewhere that will tell me how much batter for certain size pans.

I want to make a birthday cake this week and want to use one of my round pans, but I never know how much batter or boxes of cake mix I should use. I would rather know how many boxes of cake mix, vs batter.
Can you tell, I don't bake from scratch icon_razz.gif

If I am NOT doctoring the mix, I can figure that ONE cake mix will do ONE 9 or 10" round. That makes a nice full layer that way! Hope that helps you!

(so if you want a 2 layer 9 or 10" cake, it will take 2 mixes)

HAS ANYONE EVER PUT MORE THAN 1 MIX IN A 13x9 PAN?

I definatly put more than one mix in a 9x13 - that take about 1-1/2 mixes - fill the pan 2/3 - 3/4 full and then just bake another little cake or cupcakes with what may be left over.

In the past I have used more than 1 mix but it was more like 1 and almost a half. HTH

There is a chart with the info on how many cups each pan takes on the wilton website.

Here is a few of the amounts I have:

ROUNDS
6" - 1/2mix
8" - 3/4 mix
9 and 10" - 1 mix
12" - 1-1/2 mixes
14" - 2 mixes

SQUARES
6" - 3/4 mix
8" - 1 mix
10" - 1-1/2 mixes
12" - 2 mixes
14" - 2-1/2 mixes

SHEETS
9x13 - 1-1/2 mixes
11x15 - 2 mixes
12x18 - 3 mixes

hope that helps!

The Duncan Hines site says that their mixes yield 5-1/2 cups of batter:
