Thanks…I just bought to 8" and 2 6" pans…I'll try to figure it out. Any advice on how long to bake when you reduce the portions?

Till it's done. Lol.

Wilton has an excellent guide to this type of question:

As they note, all ovens are slightly different; I would test for 'doneness' about 5 minutes prior to their recommendations.

Let us know how this turns out, please

I'm with Becca. I'd check about 15 minutes in to see how its going.

Thanks for all your help…will let you know how it turns out…

So, I went with the 8" cake and filled them about 2/3 full. The recipe calls for 30 minutes and it took about 35 to be done. The cakes were fairly tall, so I cut a generous bit from the top of one for the bottom layer. What I really liked best about using the 8" instead of the 9" is that I could use an older cake plate I've had for years that would never work with the 9".
I'm anxious now to try the 6"
