I am doing a to-scale version of someone's house for a housewarming. The cake is going to be 16" wide and needs to be 11.5" tall.
I am doing the 16" wide by butting to 8" squares together side by side.
I am going to build up using 8" x 2" squares stacked. My thoughts are that I will do the following to get up to 12" tall....
Building from the bottom up as follows:
2" layer
carmel buttercream filling
2" layer
cake board
2" layer
carmel buttercream filling
2" layer
carmel buttercream filling
2" layer
carmel buttercream filling
2" layer
Do you think the top 8" without a cake board anywhere in there is going to be stable or collapse? I am using good dense recipes that I know stack well - but that also means they have some weight to them. I need to not have a cake board in there anywhere because I am having to do a lot of carving on the top of the cake and I will keep hitting cake board.
Anyone?
