AHey,

I have an order to make 150 mini one serving cakes, how do I ensure same size and height? Any ideas how to go about with this? I am thinking of using the perfect brownie pan, anyone tried to make a cake in that? Would it work out ok?

Thanks for the help in advance :)

Just a homebaker so feel free to ignore but I would weigh the filled pans to ensure uniformity and obviously use tight same size pans. In the UK a company called Lakeland sells what looks like a sheet pan with dividers, is this what you mean?

I think you had another post regarding these cakes and someone recommended that you use a ruler or tape measure for uniformity????

Now thats a good idea. I suppose you could just bake a big sheet cake and then cut.

AThanks for the help cakebaby2 and yes the brownie pan is a sheet pan with dividers, any idea if that would work fine with cake?

bubs1stbirthday, no this is my first post on this.. Using the ruler to measure and cut sounds good but would the ends be sharp and look good?

As my dad would say "measure twice cut once" if you did that it should be fine. I'd be tempted to use the brownie pan and measure the batter for each accurately with say an ice cream scoop if you couldn't weigh individual pans. Good luck!

If you are using a filling that can be frozen why don't you split/fill/freeze then when still partly frozen measure and cut? This should help with keeping the edges of the pieces neat.

This is why I love this site, great tips and advice, and if the OP bought that cute little gadget on amazon she could have the cakes done in jig time.
