Stacked Cake, How Many Layers Each?
Decorating By mqguffey Updated 30 Aug 2006 , 12:42pm by mqguffey
That's what I was afraid of. I stacked up the pans and it just didn't look right, too puny! Man, now I've got to go out for more cake mix! Did I mention I'm decorating them TOMORROW for a shower Saturday? Ack!
Any advice on stacking each of the two-layers together?
Thank you, thank you 
There's a good tutorial on this site:

You may want to check it out before you run to the store...just in case you need some additional supplies. Good luck. 
Thanks. I've got my dowels, so I'm set there. *crosses fingers* I guess I meant any suggestions on the filling between the layers. I guess I could always use buttercream but I'm wondering about jam...it's a plain French Vanilla cake. Maybe raspberry preserves? I'm open to suggestions! My plan is to take the current 10-inch out of the oven, cool 10 minutes, throw another one in and run to WalMart at lightspeed. Fortunately my WalMart is a stone's throw away and there's definitely no traffic at this hour!
Pinapple cream cheese filling is my favorite!
mmmmmmm.....

THE PINEAPPLE CREAM CHEESE FILLING SOUNDS DELICIOUS! CAN I GET THE RECIPE? OR WHERE CAN I LOOK FOR IT? THANKS..
This is the recipe that I use.
2 blocks Philadelphia Cream Cheese (1/3 less fat works well too but not fat free)
1 tsp Clear Vanilla
Sugar (I never measure it, but I put in a lot so it's sweet. You should try 1/2 cup and see if that is sweet enough for your liking. If not, gradually add more until you've reach your desired sweetness.
1 8 oz can of crushed pineapple
I use this recipe FOR A LOT OF THINGS!! If you want it fluffy, add cool whip. I don't know how many cakes it will fill. I'm guessing at least 2, 2 layer cakes. Maybe more. Let me know how it turns out.
That pineapple filling sounds great! Can't go wrong with anything and cream cheese!
I ended up using seedless raspberry jam and cool whip. Yummy!
Here's the final product. I wish the icing was a bit smoother but an OK first effort, I think Definitely a learning experience.
Thank you ALL for your help!
Great looking cake. The raspberry filling sounds delicious. I have to try that some day.
Can you use the cool whip with other flavored jams?
