Answer 1

Bake your 3 cake layers, with each one at least a 2 inch difference: example: 12" bottom, 10" middle, 8" top. Put each one on a cake board and ice but don't decorate. Look at the website for directions to build it- you need dowel rods for support. How many you need depends on the size of the cake. If you tell me how many you need to serve, I can recommend pan sizes. Decorate after assembling.

Use 3 slightly different sized layer pans and bake any cake in them......

Answer 3

Hon, this is an art form.

You need to have the pans first.  You can buy them at a baking supply store.  But since you just want a three stack cake and not that particular one I can help a bit.

See if you can buy a set of three spring form pans. You can usually get these at the Walmart and they come in 10 inch 9 inch and 8 inch.

You will need at least enough cake mix for two whole cakes but I would recommend three cake mixes.

Fill each pan up as high as the other with the amount of cake you have.  Bake according to package directions  but you will have to watch carefully because the different size cakes will require different baking times.

For the cake in the picture you need fondant icing and you can find recipes for that on the web.  I would skip it if I were you and just use regular decorator's icing.  Fondant is an art in itself.

So, bake the cake layers, let them cool and then stack them.  Usually cake bakers use wooden skewers to hold the layers together.  If you are not going to travel with this cake you can get by without them.

Decorate as you wish.  I would frost it and then use a different color frosting to draw designs (like hearts) on it.  I would draw the design out on a piece of paper first and then practice drawing with frosting onto a piece of wax paper.

This is a big undertaking.  Hope you will have fun.  If it all falls over, just laugh and buy a big tub of ice cream to serve the mashed up cake with!

Answer 4

Just use 3 different pans.  You can always carve off the parts you don't want.  You can also use pyrex bowls (this is what they use to make those cakes that Barbies get jammed into), just make sure to grease / flour well, and, again, carve off the bits that don't suit you!
