I wonder how tall a bassinett cake would have to be with if I start with the wilton oval pan 13x9?

or the wilton oval 10x7?

Would it need to be over the standard 4 inches tall to look like a bassinett? I am planning to make the gumpaste 1/2 circle for the top as well.

If anyone has any suggestions on an appropriate heigth for these sized pans, I would appreciate it.

I think it would need to be four inches tall at least. Otherwise it will look squatty.

(Actually a stroller, but by removing the wheels and handle, you'd had a crib.)
