made it! wow what a great cake, my cake it self didnt rise alot but it tasted great, and with all the layers it didnt matter. i was a little short on icing and when i transfered the hot to the mixer, which i had wipped with lemom juice it got grainy, i wonder if i should have rinsed it afterwards. but it was still lovely, so fun everyone love it, and yes another labor of love

I made this for a birthday and it has been requested to serve with another family gathering next weekend! We had the birthday party in a restaurant that allows you to bring in dessert, and the chef sliced and plated it for us. He was quite amazed, had never seen a cake like that, then we left the last piece for the staff to share.

I do not recommend carton whites as I find they don’t whip a proper meringue. See more info here: https://livforcake.com/swiss-meringue-buttercream-recipe/

Yes, you will definitely have to adjust the proportions! Converting pan sizes is always tricky. Here are some sites I use as a guideline:

As for the egg whites, is it okay to use liquid egg whites? I’m just afraid of getting the yolk in the mixture TY

In reply to Olivia. Thank you for your response! I actually ended up making the baklava I’m waiting one more day to let them sit! Tomorrow I make the cake I have one question about the cake. I have 2 nine inch circle cake pans and 2 rectangle 8inch pans. Which size will work best for the cake? Will I have to adjust the portions? PS I made 2 baklava. One in the circle pan and one in the rectangle pan.
