Hi everybody,
When I look into the cake pictures posted in CC, I see that most of them are higher then my cakes. Please take a look into my photos, you will understand what I mean. When I bake my cake, I can cut it into 3 layers. But when i fill and cover it with fondant it still does not look higher enough like the pictures of the cakes that I see in here. Do you guys bake 2 cakes to have a higher cakes? I hope I could explain my question 
P.S. I know there is a sticky post shows tutorials in this forum but is there any video / tutorial that shows baking the cake and layering it?
I bake two layers and torte each layer. So I always have at least 4 layers of cake, 3 layers of filling. On occasion I will add a fifth layer of cake if it is a tiered cake and the sizes don't match up for some reason. My cakes are always between 3.5-4 inches in height.
the pages I have seen that tell how many pieces are in a cake also say how tall the cake slices are. If you charge the same for a slice of cake that is half as tall as the recommended that seems unfair to the customer. I think that is why sheet cakes get less per slice-they are not usually as tall.
bakencake; I didn't think of using extenders before. Actually maybe i just want to bake a real home made cakes that does not contain extender, but it may help, I have to try and see the result.
emiyeric; you are right, the recipe I use gives enough batter for two layers, and making them 3 layers makes the tiers very thin. Because I do not live in US, we do not have those cake mixes here. But I get the point anyways, I have to prepare 2 cakes and layer them into half and then fill them, etc. to have a standard 4'' tall cake as leah_s said.
Thank you all guys.
