I am trying to make my first stacked cake today. I was looking through the galleries at different wedding cakes (mine is a practise cake that I'm giving to my sister for her first wedding anniversary), and I noticed that on most of the cakes the layers were really thick. Can anyone tell me if that is the result of baking two cakes of the same size for each layer? I love the look of alot of cake!
Thank you everyone!

Your standard wedding cake is 4" thick. So yes you would have to back two of the same size.

HTH

I do two 2" layers for each tier of my cakes... after you put your icing, etc., on the cake and if you also tier the cake, it'll look tall .. good luck and remember to dowel your tiers!!

Ditto!
