A customer really wants a stacked gift box cake and I would love to make it for her but don't know how to. Could anyone help? I would love to have each lid slightly open. I'm guessing gumpaste is the way to go with the lids?

I suggest you look at the cake and find something to what you are looking for. PM the person to see they would help, all most everyone here would help you. You can all ways change the design you just need to know how to put one together.

Good luck.

I made one of these cakes for my sister's baby shower. I used a piece of stryrofoam that I cut to the size of the cake and covered it in fondant (next time I would use a fondant/gumpaste mix). I used cake jacks..or use dowel and cut them slightly larger than the cake.......that propped the lid up. Then I just took pieces of fondant (again next time I would use a mixture) and stuck them in the opening.
