How many cups of buttercream are needed for each different layer? I am making a small tiered cake for my daughter's birthday and I plan to use a 10", 8" and 6" tier all with two layers of cake.

Thanks!

You're right, it could be on here somewhere, but I found it on Wilton.

This Wilton chart is helpful for both batter and icing amounts for various sizes of cakes. I think an un-doctored cake mix makes about 4 1/2 cups of batter. A doctored cake will have more.

Hi,

According to the Wilton yearbook (I assumed you were using rounds):

6in - 3 cups
8in - 4 cups
10in - 5 cups

It also says that it allows for top and bottom borders.

Hope this helps you!
Valerie.
