I have to make a cake to feed 105 people. They want a three tier cake. They want a round, petal, round combo.

I don't own any petal pans yet...so I cant play around with them and see which size will work best. I am going to go get them but in the interm can anyone suggest a possible size combo?

I was thinking of a 9" round, 12" petal (it shrinks after baking to 11") and 12".

Advice? If anyone owns these pans would you mind playing with them and letting me know what combo looks best?

I would go for more than a 1" difference between layers. and I wouldn't count on that much shrinkage either. IMHO.

I agree. A one inch difference is going to be tight, and I'm not so sure it would shrink that much.

Good Luck!

I have the pans and I like 6 9 12. 6 8 10 looks good too. I think at least 2 inches gives a good balance. icon_smile.gif
