I’d rather have the problem of too much frosting rather than not enough, so I stick with 9-inch pans always. The broader the base for frosting, the more frosting required. Larger than 9 1/2-inches gets into sticky territory.

I also like to assemble wire racks for cooling the layers and also have my cake stand, offset spatula, and strips of parchment paper ready to go for when it’s time to frost. You want everything to be at room temperature.
