 Hi, can anyone help! I've made countless round and square wedding cakes and now I've been asked to make a hexagon wedding cake , I said Ok, but I'm not sure how to convert my recipe that I use for various round and square sizes into a hexagon (or any other shape for that matter!). They want a 12", 2 x 8" and 6". How do I work it out? Thanks Stephanie

if its a sponge cake I would just make up a big load of mixture and bung it in the tins.....really professional I know but hey it works for me,..if its fruit etc let me know I will check my books..
Really I should check anyway cos its not best to guessimate but I do do that with sponge ones

Rachel, it's a fruit cake - I did think I might just make it as though it were a 12" square and see what happens, I thought, so what's the worst that could happen, but I don't know if I'm that brave!
I think if it was sponge I might opt for your tried and trusted method but cos it's fruit I don't want to end up with a really small fruit cake, my lot can only eat so much fruit cake and custard, fruit cake and fruitcake before they object!

6 " treat as 5" round
8 " treat as 7 " round
10 " treat as 9 " round
12 " treat as 11"round for whatever recipe you use
" is inch
hope that helps

That's great Rach, I've got fruit merrily soaking up copious amounts of brandy as we speak so I'll give it a go this weekend! thanks Stephanie  |
