12 in seems pretty large to have to torte....unless you cakes are 4 in tall, id just fill and stack them! I like to have a nice ratio between cake and filling...

Just preference. Personally, I think cutting into 4 layers of cake with 3 layers of filling is prettier.

depends on how tall the cakes turn out...I would bake 3 layers if using 2" high pans, the cake most likely won't be a full 2 in tall...I agree kory...3 layers does look pretty...

How much filling are you going to put in? A mousse might get as high as 1/2" per layer but jams should be pretty darn thin.

I used 2 12" cakes for the bottom tier of my daughters cake and I didnt torte them i just stuck them on top of each other after I leveled them out and the size was just perfect and used raspberry jam for the filling that was the most requested cake LOL

for small portions like wedding cake size it says 52 servings but I cut pretty decent sizes, you could get 52 pieces out of it but if your cutting hefty pieces count on more like 40ish
