How Many Boxed Cake Mixes To Fill Different Sized Pans
Decorating By lfkeller Updated 2 Aug 2007 , 7:53pm by indydebi
Is there a chart somewhere that will tell you depending on your size cake pan, how many boxed cake mixes it will hold?
I sure could use one. I have a 14 1/2 x 3 round cake pan and a 12 1/2 x 3 round cake pan that I need to know how many boxed cakes it will take to fill.
Most of the different rounds and squares say on the paper they come with how many cups of batter they take. If you don't have your papers buy the Wilton yearbook, there's a chart in the middle that tells you what each uses along with servings and icing charts (these are aproximate but nice to have). Depending on your cake mix brand it will yeild 4-6 cups of batter which is why they don't say to use x number of mixes for a 14" round.
These aren't Wilton pans, but I guess that wouldn't matter would it? I bought these pans from an estate sale, the lady was an entertainer and did lots of baking.
They are heavy duty pans but need some cleaning out as they looked like they have been stored out in her shed for several years. Do you think I could use a SOS pad to clean them?

Maybe this will help? 
Here's what I use:
1.0 mix: two 8" rounds or two 6" square
1.5 mix: two 8" square
2.0 mix: two 10" round; one 11x15 sheet
3.0 mix: two 12" round or two 10" square; one 12x18 sheet
4.0 mix: two 14" round or two 12" square; one 14x22 sheet
5.0 mix: two 16" round or two 14" square
