Double layer cake mix for a character cake pan?

by Denise

I bought a strawberry shortcake character cake pan and it says to use a double layer cake mix. I don't think I have ever seen a double layer cake mix at the store other than how they say on the back of the mix for 2, 8 or 9 inch cakes. So I was wondering if I need to buy 2 regular cake mixes or just one?

One normal box of mix is a 'double layer' mix.

As I understand it, it refers to the fact you can get 2- 8" or 9" rounds from one mix.

If you fill the pan to the brim with mix, it will run over in the oven.

The only mix in my part of the country that I know of that's not a double layer mix is Jiffy brand.
