We use the area formula for a circle, which is  
$$
A = \pi r^2,
$$  
where $$ r $$ is the radius (half the diameter).

1. For the $$ 8 $$-inch cake:  
   - Radius: $$ r = \frac{8}{2} = 4 $$ inches  
   - Area:  
     $$
     A_1 = \pi (4)^2 = 16\pi \approx 50.3 \text{ in}^2
     $$

2. For the $$ 12 $$-inch cake:  
   - Radius: $$ r = \frac{12}{2} = 6 $$ inches  
   - Area:  
     $$
     A_2 = \pi (6)^2 = 36\pi \approx 113.1 \text{ in}^2
     $$

3. For the $$ 15 $$-inch cake:  
   - Radius: $$ r = \frac{15}{2} = 7.5 $$ inches  
   - Area:  
     $$
     A_3 = \pi (7.5)^2 = 56.25\pi \approx 176.7 \text{ in}^2
     $$

Thus, the correct areas are  
$$
A_{1}=50.3 \text{ in}^{2}; \quad A_{2}=113.1 \text{ in}^{2}; \quad A_{3}=176.7 \text{ in}^{2}.
$$
The areas of the cakes are: - 8-inch cake: 50.3 in² - 12-inch cake: 113.1 in² - 15-inch cake: 176.7 in²
