What do you use most often?

I use and own only the 2" pans. I have not had a need for 3" ones yet.

Only 2" pans for me.

I prefer the 2 inch.

3 inch much better!

I bought all 3"

2" only. Some folks say the 3" are more versatile because you can make a 2" or 3" cake in them. But I don't see it that way. Making a 2" cake in a 3" pan leaves a high wall above the surface of the cake. This wall prevents even heat from hitting that surface. So 2" cakes baked in 3" pans do not bake as evenly or as well.

I've used both and prefer the 2" pans. All the cakes I've baked in the 3" ones end up being on the dry side due to having to bake them longer.

I prefer my 3" pans. I find I can actually get a full 2" layer out of them as opposed to when I bake in 2" pans. Slowl I will be switching all my pans over.

I use mostly 3" pans to bake my 2" layers. They are a little taller than 2" and I can trim them to exactly 2".

I prefer 3 pans for the same reason as KTB4.

I gave away my 3" pans. I did not like the way they baked.
