I think I'm going to buy a couple of 4" pans and do some test cakes. I'll try to make a point of posting some pictures as well.</p> <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Thanks for the pics -- I love the ombre look! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smash-cakes#post-1044753 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 16:50:54 +0000 MapleMoose 1044753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted 4" double layer because I think that would look so cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smash-cakes#post-1044688 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 16:01:50 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1044688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did a 6" double layer because that's the pan size we found. But most of the cake went to waste, I would think a 4" might be best. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smash-cakes#post-1044667 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 15:53:09 +0000 Bao 1044667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did a 6 inch but it was decently tall because I baked it in a round Pyrex dish instead of a cake pan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smash-cakes#post-1044558 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 15:04:56 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1044558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4" double should be plenty of cake for a LO. </p> [attach=3033/13/ms5nbk.286x600.ombre-bug-themed-birthday-party-3.jpeg] [attach=3033/13/ms5nbm.267x600.breakfast-at-tiffanys-birthday-party-2.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smash-cakes#post-1044547 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 15:01:13 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1044547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did a 6" double layer cake. I could have gotten away with a 4" cake, but I like the size of the 6" one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smash-cakes#post-1044469 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 14:36:06 +0000 regberadaisy 1044469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: I think you def want 6" then for more girth so the layers don't topple. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smash-cakes#post-1044462 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 14:32:52 +0000 MsLipGloss 1044462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: Good to know!

I don't want her cake to be bigger than her head! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smash-cakes#post-1044456 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 14:31:37 +0000 regberadaisy 1044456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6" and double. Single layer looks lame. ;)</p> <p>P.S. I would be OK with 4" too but 6" seemed to be a common cake pan size! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smash-cakes#post-1044452 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 14:29:42 +0000 jmarionsmith 1044452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 inch and def 2 layers, if not 3. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smash-cakes#post-1044448 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 14:28:14 +0000 MsLipGloss 1044448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted for six inch double . . . I have no reason for the double rec, other than I just love me some cake(!), but I think a 6" cake would be easier to work with/frost than a 4" cake . . . ? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smash-cakes#post-1044447 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 14:28:08 +0000 yellowbird 1044447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm doing a 4 inch double layer for my LO </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smash-cakes#post-1044445 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 14:27:03 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1044445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm doing a smash cake for a friend and wondering whether it should be 4" or 6" ?
