On these tiered wedding cakes or heck, just any of the cakes with depth, do you bake like 2 cakes for each tier and put icing between the layers? Doe's anyone have a picture of a "stripped" cake that I can use as reference? I'm into cupcakes but if I can expand and start doing wedding cakes as well, I think I can get the market here in my town.

Most wedding cakes are two cakes and each of those cakes are torted (cut in half), so there is four layers of cake and three layers of filling inbetween, plus the icing on top.

This is how I make up my cakes (with real cake, not wood, obviously icon_lol.gif !):

I bake 2 layers of 2ins in depth, split each layer and fill and then join together with another layer of filling. Gives a finished cake of anywhere between 5 & 6in in depth once the decoration is on!

Hope that helps a bit!
