How To Stack 11X15 Two Layer Cake?
Decorating By Kookie Updated 18 Mar 2009 , 4:57am by luvsfreebies72
I am going to make 11x15, two layer cake. It is going to be 4" high.
I have never stack this big sheet size cake before.
How do you stack the sheet cake without any mess?
Are there any tricks or techniques?
THANKS.
Level the cakes before stacking (just like any other cake layers).
Refrigerating or partially freezing will firm up the layers (helps with stability).
Use a cakeboard, cookie sheet, etc.to slide one layer onto the other.

Just make sure that you have a good Stiff dam for your filling, and use a sideless cookie sheet dusted with powdered sugar to slide the top cake on to the bottom layer. I have found it helpful to have the cake really cold so that it is firm and easier to handle.
Hope that helps!

Hello JanH,
I didn't think about freeze the cake or cold cake.
If I put frozen cake on the top of the frosting, doesn't cake sweat and make the frosting wet?
Thanks.
I saw a cake paddle like a pizza slider or a giant cookie spatula. Can't find it now... gosh I am just a tease. Sorry.
Doing what JanH said should work like a dream.
OOOOO I found it aren't you impressed with me...? It's a Deluxe Stainless Steel Cake Lifter. Because we all need more gadgets right? Any-who here's the link for a looky-loo...
