Hi there: I'm planning to purchase 3 of the 9" round cake pans. Can anyone tell me what height pans (2" or 3") would be preferable and why? Thanks!

It's really a matter of preference. I have both and use them for different things.I use my 3" pans almost exclusively for decorated cakes. It gives me taller cake, with more white space between the top and bottom border. And I avoid the difficulty of the layers.For non decorated cakes, I use the 2" pans and layer them because I usually want a frosting or filling layer in the middle.I sometimes use the 3" pan for filled decorated cakes and slice it in half (vs using the 2" layers) because I find it easier to get a level cake that way than with the layers baked separately.

Both are good. It's up to you. In my experience I prefer the 2'' cause I put the batter in 2 pans and I just take them out and they're are my layers (so I have 2 layers of 2'' each) and I don't have to cut a cake in half and then put the filing. On this way I know my layers are even and the same height. But as I said, it's up to you.

I found the 3" easier to get straight sides and not have big gaps in between the layers, because the cakes didn't "dome up" so high in the middle. (Does that make sense?) I guess I mean the tops were flatter. Any way I have both and the 3" seem to work better for me.

I bought the 3-inch because I wanted taller layers without having to create a cuff at the top with parchment. I love the look of the cakes with the 3-inch tall size. Just be sure to get a recipe for this height. I used them for a wedding cake and it was beautiful! I found great pointers for the amount of batter to use for 3" tall pans online.

You've probably already made your purchase by now (or not). The following are all internal measures which is probably what you want: * Base diameter at bottom: 9.25 inches * Base diameter at top: 11 inches * Base height: ~ 1 inch * Top diameter: 11 inches * Top height: 3 inchesBoth our pie plates fit with easy. You should be able to place a 9 inch diameter, 4 inch cake in the plate without problem.

if this will help if you go to your local grocery store and find a 2-3 layer cake its about exactly that size but if would be a perfect fit with a 2 layer cake so its on average the "ROUND" size of your average kitchen plate..Hope that helps...So a three layer cake may squash it but a two layer cake in height would be the PERFECT size ...height wise.

I agree with previous answers, although measurements are not completely accurate 2+" for larger pan and -2 for smaller. If you need accurate, contact manufacturer. Circulon customer service is top-notch!

None of the pans come with directions :( I found this on a review. 6" pan - 4 cups batter 8" pan - 7 cups batter 10" pan - 11 cups batter 12" pan - 15 3/4 cups batter If ordering, want to order at least a month before use. I ordered mine at the end of month 27th and did not receive until the following month around 25th. Hope this helps. I made a birthday cake with top 3 tiers, feed over 20 people.

Buy a 14 inch diameter. I make 12 inch cheesecakes. But whatever you are making, 14 will be enough. It will be fine for using any pan up to 12 inches for a "bain marie" cooking process. The depth will be fine also.

Since the majority of the cake bottom will be on the 8" paper, they'll be no problem using it. Doing either of the methods you mentioned would work ok. I've purchased BOTH the 8" and 9" rounds and have not had any problems with my varied pans.

The picture shows a 9"x13" cake, which is what I made as well. The image pretty much covers a cake that size. I wouldn't personally recommend using this on a round cake.... unless you're making one quite larger than the standard 9".

I also made cheesecakes in mine. I have a recipe that fills a 9" pan. Using 1/4 of the ingredients gave me enough to make 2 of this size.

The rectangle pans with short sides are 7 in x 10 in and the round one is 7 in diameter. I didn't get the cake pan or cookie sheet, but they look similar in size

yes... my wedding cake was 3 tiers but it was small so we had cupcakes also. It only fits a 9 inch cake on the bottom and then obviously each tier was smaller as you went up. the top tier was quiet tiny but it gave the same effect. wish i could ass a picture here. my cake was beautiful!

my wife has not used it yet but i will give you the measurements with the two halfs together. they are a lot smaller than i thought they were before i purchased them for my wife. i would say that the cake would be about 2 1/2 inches tall and close to 4 inches across. hope this helps you.

I prefer a 9" x 9" pan, mostly because I like the cake-like texture it produces. If you want something a bit chewier, use a 9" x 13". If you're as lazy a cook as I am, you'll appreciate the fact that you can mix it up right in the baking pan. Just remember to wipe down the sides of the pan to avoid scorched bits. Also, I prefer to use a glass pan because it heats a little more evenly than metal and you'll get fewer scorched bottoms.

The cake in the picture is a 9x13. That should give you a good idea. Will not fit a standard round cake.

Hi...This was an awesome product!Depends how big your round cake is because you can certainly cut it around to fit your shape. Hope this helps...:)-

this is a 9" cake pan size. Make sure to spray with cooking oil, my cake stuck to the pan the first time.

Since brownie mix does not rise like cake mix you would have to fill to cover the smaller circle in the pan. If you are going to add filling, then you have to fill about 1" to 2" from top. I love this pan. Good luck
