A standard cake mix yields about 5 cups of batter, and a 12x2 inch cake pan takes 8 cups of batter. If your pan is 3 inches deep instead of 2, you will need 11 cups. So two cake mixes will be about right...you'll have a bit left over with a 12x2.
The number of boxes of cake mix needed depends on the size of your cake pans. Generally, one box of cake mix makes about 4 to 5 cups of batter, which is sufficient for a 9-inch round or square pan. For larger pans, such as 12-inch or 10-inch rounds, you may need 2 boxes, while for a 9x13-inch pan, one box is usually adequate. Always check the specific instructions on the cake mix box for the best results.
It depends on how deep the cake pan is.
4 boxes for a single pan
To accommodate a 12-inch cake, you typically need a cake box that is at least 12 inches in diameter or slightly larger to ensure a comfortable fit. Standard cake boxes come in various sizes, so look for a box that is specifically designed for a 12-inch cake, often labeled as 12-inch or 14-inch to provide extra space. If you're stacking or adding decorations, a slightly larger box may be preferable.
If you don't have a nine-inch round cake pan, you can use an eight-inch round pan, though the cake may be slightly taller and require a longer baking time. Alternatively, a 9x5-inch loaf pan or an 11x7-inch rectangular pan can work, but you may need to adjust the baking time. Just ensure to monitor the cake closely for doneness.
You should order for only 90% of your guests. Some people will not eat the cake. So again, only order for 90% - in your case that means 12 people or one cake box mix - or one 9 inch round/square cake.

8 inches. there are 2.54 cm in an inch
You can actually use one box alone but it will be thinner. you can actually use the amount of boxes of cake mix you want it will just get thicker.
To determine the amount of ribbon needed to go around a 10-inch round cake, you need to calculate the circumference of the cake. The formula for circumference is C = πd, where d is the diameter. For a 10-inch cake, the circumference is approximately 31.4 inches (using π ≈ 3.14). Therefore, you'll need about 31.4 inches of ribbon to go around the cake.
Well, honey, it depends on the depth of the pan and the brand of cake mix you're using. Typically, one box cake mix is enough for a 9-inch round pan, so for a 14-inch pan, you might need at least two or three mixes to ensure your cake is nice and tall. Just follow the instructions on the box and adjust accordingly. Happy baking, darling!
at least halfway full. but not more than 2/3 full.
