I am very new to cake decorating and I just got my first requset for a large layer cake (18x24). Is box cake mix sturdy enough for a 2-layer cake that large? I'm afraid it will fall apart. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
I have made wedding cakes for 25+ yrs using boxed cake mix. If it's o.k. for a wedding cake it certainly o.k. for a sheet cake.
Word to the wise: Be very sure you have a sturdy board to put that cake on. It is going to be *very* heavy! Best is a piece of wood. Next best is 3-4 cake cardboards glued together.
I totally agree, a mix cake will be fine. I've done it for ages and it always stands up fine.

Same here.
Your mama made layer cakes using cake mixes for years and they held up just fine, right?
Yes, it's a larger cake, but the weight is being spread out over a larger area. The weight-per-square-inch on an 18x24 is the same as a 6x6".
Quick little bit of info, I always use Duncan Hines mixes and add 1/2 box of pudding mix per cake mix. Fresh! Happy baking!
