I was asked to make a cake for 50 ppl and I was planning to use two pans of 6 and 10, 2 in each to make it a 2 tier cake of around 4 in each, however, the client does not want any filling. What would u suggest? does it look okay to use two pans of the same size with no filling? I would like each tier to have some height and I do not have 3 in pans so I can make just one of each. Any ideas pls???

If they want a stacked cake, you need to put something in the middle to make a decent sized tier. Otherwise it would look like a deflated cake. Would they be okay with a sheet cake? You could put 2 squares side by side if they don't want filling. Who doesn't want filling?? Cost wise?

The cake is for a friend of a friend so I haven't really talked to the client but she only told me that she does not like filling. I will try to use 3 in pans and use a parchment collar to make them look taller. Lets see how it goes. I do not have sheet pans and do not want to expend extra money purchasing one now since I only bake on my spare time.

AI have had many, many, MANY customers tell me they don't want filling. What they mean is they don't want a fruit/custard/etc filling. When I explain that ALL layered cakes ,anything other than a flat single layered sheet cake, have at least buttercreme in the middle as "glue"between the layers, they ALL say "oh, yeah, that's what I meant. Just buttercreme." Seriously. Don't try to stack a tiered cake just layer after layer of cake. Explain to this person. Unless they are completely clueless and really do want a bland plain, completely naked, unfrosted and undecorated cake.

Exactly.

Call the client and ask her exactly what she means by "no filling".

And if they do want a completely naked cake, I'd suggest a pound cake baked in a Bundt mold.
