I had a request yesterday from someone throwing a very large bridal shower and she was wanting 2 sheet cakes stacked, I believe a 9 x 13 and an 11 x 15. Will that work just like any other stacked cake, or is the 9x13 going to be too heavy to be on top of the 11x15? Any advice would be very much appreciated!
I had to stack 11x15's , 1 on top of the other, for my mardi gras cake in my pictures. I didn't use a cake board between layers, and it seemed to be ok. But, it wasn't for a wedding either.
are you just stacking single layers or do you mean two, two layer cakes ???
I do double layer 12X18's often.
If I was stacking two two layer cakes I def. would dowel it as they are quite heavy
How do you get the 2nd layer of a 1/2 or full sheet cake on top of the 1st without it breaking? I did a 1/2 sheet cake double layer this weekend and when I went to flip the 2nd layer on the top it started to tear apart. What do I do? Any help would be great. Also if I wanted to tort a single layer, how do I get it off and then back on without tearing it?
Use a cake board to slide the layer on and off the cake. here's a little video tutorial:

Great thank you, I'll try that next time for torting, do I just do the same method for getting the 2nd layer on the 1st?
Personally, if I were going to stack a smaller sheet on top of a larger sheet, I'd use supports just to be sure it didn't sag at all. If they're the same size, no problems at all, I do it all the time.
I agree, I really prefer the look 1/2 sheets stacked rather than that gigantic full sheet. It's taller and I can do a lot more with the sides than I can on a regular single layer sheet cake.
