I am making my first wedding cake and I am just trying to figure out the number of cakes I would require to make.
I have the 14", 10" and 6" pans.....all 3 inch deep pans. Is one cake enough for eack layer or should I be baking and stacking two cakes for each layer? If I bake two for each layer, should I be using less batter than what the pan normally calls for?
I just dont want the cake to be too high or too low?
Any advice woudl be appreciated.
You want to be at about 4" or higher. I generally go 4 & 1/2' to 5 inches tall. I bake in two pans for each layer, both bake to the top, with a little leveling (sometimes), they are at 2" tall each. So, with filling, if I don't torte, which I don't always do, once it is all iced and decorated, the tier is almost 5" tall everytime.
