how do you stack a 3 layer cake?bottom to bottom or bottom to top>

And to make this easier, I always put cut side down to maintain moisture, and prevent crumbs from getting in icing.

I level all three layers. Flip the cut side down on all three layers. The bottom of the cake is the top.

bottom of cake is always up :) that is the most even side... It will also have fewer crumbs than cut side :)

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.

Comes with two wire racks - a short one and a tall one, both round, and they do stack. My wife bakes layer cakes in convection mode. 13"x9" pans do fit and rotate if there isn't too large a lip or too steep an angle on the sides. Larger pans in convection mode can be accommodated by taking the carousel plate out. We tend to use Pyrex bowls, cake pans, etc.

I use shortening to grease....spread the shortening, thin layer inside the pan...bottom and inside edges. Cool your cake completely on a wire rack when done, flip over when ready to take out of pan. You may have to tap the top part of pan or slide a butter knife around the inside edge if cake sticks. Not sure if we lightly floured after greasing, you may have to so cake doesn't stick to inside of pan

Depends on how thick you roll it out. I've done two four layer 9" cakes. Hope that helps

It measures 4.75 inches between plates and to the top knob; so a 2-layer cake no more than 4 inches high should fit. Remember the top plate has the legs arching in to the carry knob which would come close to the cake top edge.

I believe you could. place cake on bottom first unassembled then insert tube in center to put on next level tier. You would have the plastic tube attached and going through the middle of the cake but it would work. You would cut the cake carefully to make sure other items on next tier above don't fall off. Because the parts are detachable you could place cake with hole ( such as a bundt on it.) Heaviest item of course on bottom. This is an acrylic which is a light plastic but I love it. I place tape over the insert middle tube peices and decorate with whatever theme I choose. Valentines hearts, plastic halloween skeletons, dice for bunco night, etc. I believe you could. place cake on bottom first unassembled then insert tube in center to put on next level tier.

You will have to buy 3 racks, to be able to extend to 3 layers. The way this rack is built, you can stack as many racks as you want on top. You cannot see from the picture but at each conner on the top of each leg is the place to rest the leg of the next rack.

As a the 3 tier shown in the photo, it would serve 4. Each layer is a separate pan, which gives you the freedom to add layers if desired. The top pan is only 2"x2". That's about the size of a cupcake. The 2nd pan is 3"x2", but I would still only call this a single serving. The bottom, being 4"x2" could be split to make 2 servings.

I have not tried that. However, the tier does not seem as steady to stack one on top of the other. I hope I was able to help. Jasmin

You bake it lying down. The top side is the back side I believe. You tie it closed with some twine... cake mix should amost fill the bottom. When it bakes it expands upward....

I just made a chocolate cake in mine using 1 box of cake mix, it came out great, but, I thinknext time I will use 2 boxes to make it higher. it is a deep pan.

I had a small two tiered cake on mine. I don't think it is large enough for three tiers, and mine was not completely level so I wouldn't risk it!

It screws together starting with the base (tripod) then a tier then another metal rod screws into the base locking in the first tier while providing a base for the next tier, etc. Eventually the single cup cake tier you see at the top finishes it off. You could feasibly use 2-3 tiers. You'd just have to decide if you want the exposed rod threading at the top or you want to move the single cup cake tier down to finish it off. The width of the rod doesn't change so the placement of them aren't tier-dependent.

The pans are of the same size but the sides are not straight, it's at an angle. You need to trim the sides if you plan to make a layer cake.

To make the cake stand up, I did have to trim the tops of both sides of the cake flat while the sides were still in the pan. I then frosted the sides and carefully put the sides together.

I use the equivalent of about one cake box mix each side - Before pouring into the bottom side, I put a clean can with the top and bottom removed in the center of the bottom pan - bake the cake and remove the can, fill it with whatever filling then apply the top. I usually do the top and bottom different cake flavors
