Hi Stephanie! Converting pan sizes is always tricky. Here are some sites I use as a guideline:
http://www.joyofbaking.com/PanSizes.html
https://www.cookipedia.co.uk/recipes_wiki/Cake_tin_conversion_charts

Based on that I would 2.25x for three 9″ layers. Or if you dont mind thinner layers you can 2x for ease. Be sure to reduce the baking time if you do.

Hi Terri! It depends if you put the turtles on top or not. I haven’t measured it but I’d guess at least 8″ with the turtles.

Hi Rachel! It shouldn’t affect the flavour or texture as long as you use gel or powder coloring (not liquid). It’s hard to get rich colors with meringue buttercreams though so you’d need to use a lot of coloring.

I’m in culinary school, for my baking final I get to bake any cake I want. This one is perfect and I get to use some of the techniques I have already learned. I think this will get me an “A”! So thank you for the recipe.

Hi mhairi! Yes, that should be fine. I would keep it in the fridge and take it out 2-3 hours before serving.
