Mini victoria sponges

Hello All
I 'treated' myself to some mini pie dishes yesterday, which i thought i could possibly use to make mini victoria sponges. They are approx 4" in diameter and 1" tall. Does anyone know how many tins i would be able to fill with either the traditional 6,6,6,3 mixture or the 8,8,8,4 mixture?
I'm sure i could go by trial an error but i've got a lot of baking to do for my OH's work fund raiser and i need to work out how many cakes i can make so i don't get odd numbers in the sponges. (IYKWIM).

thanks for your help, hope i've posted in the right place

    I don't know, I would use your normal cake tin filled to the point when you normally would with water and the share it out amongst the cake tins and see how much water they use. That doesn't make sense but maybe you'll get what I mean? x
