I was thinking 3 inch pan would be better i would not have to bake two cakes per tier I would  just torte the 3 inch and get close to 4"  but just read today you get a better texture with the 2 inch pan I need advice from more experienced  bakers

I have made 100s of wedding cake and 1,000 of other occasion cakes - all using 2" deep pans.  In my opinion they bake up a cake much better.  Also since most wedding cakes are 4" tall tiers it makes putting together much simpler.   I know some people like 3"ers  and don't fill the pan as much then have to trim it to size.   This seems to me toh be a waste of time and produce :( 

Here's a wonderful recipe for you to use : http://www.cakecentral.com/recipe/7445/the-original-wasc-cake-recipe   and the perfect icing to go w/it:   http://www.cakecentral.com/recipe/22469/2-icing

Good luck.   I made both of my daughter's wedding cakes and it's such a wonderful feeling to accomplish.
