so can you start with 5" squares and then cut? if you can, then they don't have to start at 5". they can start at ....anything, as long as they don't exceed 5".
wrong?

there are patterns for layer cakes, jelly rolls , and every pastry out there, and they get cut up. So just go with it and have fun.
