By definition if it is real tiramisu it cannot be stacked, its very soft and mushy and it has to be kept cool.

Its not something you could leave out on display for a while as it would start to seep all over the place.

I'm italian, grew up in Italy and tiramisu is my favorite thing in the world so I have some experience with it icon_wink.gif.

The only way you could do it stacked is if the cake is if each layer of cake is contained in its own vessel - like a baking pan, something with sides, and the layer above is floating, meaning that theres a couple of inches between each layer and they do not touch each other.

Auryn makes a very good point that a real tiramisu is soft and very persihable.

However -- I posted a modified version of it (under my recipes). Perhaps if you baked a white or almond cake, used the coffee-rum syrup, and thinner amounts of the filling? A little coffee-rum syrup could also be used to flavor butter-cream. It would give you the taste of tiramisu, but not quite the soft texture. icon_smile.gif

Petit-four is right- I make my tiramisu wedding cake using an almond sponge base cake that has been soaked lightly in an espresso simple syrup. The filling is a mocha mousse that has been made with mascapone cheese (the real secret of tiramisu in my opinion). Alternatively you could make it with a mocha sponge base for a more chocolatey taste.
