this cake had two two 8 inch layer cakes toward the back with a single layer cake placed in front. The cake board is a 20 x 20" cut peice of 1/2" plywood and the tower is constructed with a dowel secured on the cake board and a cake baked in a wondermold pan at the bottom and rice crispy treats all the way up with a 6 inch cake plate used to support the roof on top also made with rice crispy treats. This was for my little girls 7th birthday. She cut out all the flowers herself and she wanted the tangled figures on the cake also. :)
