When you do a tiered cake, (ie, typical wedding) do you
a) bake 2 2" layers, tort, and fill
b) bake 3 2" layers, no tort, and fill
I was wondering if 2 layers torted is tall enough anymore, or if 3 is too big/ tall for a nice slice to fit on a plate? Thoughts?
(I only ask because it seems like tiers are looking taller lately, especially in pics)
That depends on how high you would like your cake to be. Typically a standard layer is just about 1 3/4 to 2 inches tall. Once you level, tort and fill 2 layers you have a 4 " cake. But if you are going for a taller look you would of course add an additional layer. It's all about what you (or your customer) prefer.
i always do 3 layers of cake and 2 layers of filling or torting. my cake layers are usually a little over an inch thick so my cakes end up about 4" tall. that is how i have always done it.
