I hope this question makes sense! LOL When you make cakes ... is a double layer two cakes baked seperately one on top of the other or is it one cake split in half with something in the middle?? AND... I need to make a cake for 40 people so how big (pan size and layers) should I make it? I was at the Wilton site and it talks about 2 layers... so I guess I would need my 1st question answered before I can figure this one out... lol Thank you for your answers in advance!

A double layer cake is two cakes baked seperately with either icing or other type of filling between them so they don't slide apart. As far as what sizes you would need for 40 people, go to this site and you can see for your self on the cake serving chart... pretty easy to read and acurate to a point on servings. Wilton's serving chart is off by 6 servings.
