I don't know what the pantastic pans are but if it's cake on top of the sheet cake, I would put a cake board under and a couple of dowels or straws in the sheet cake.

I agree - dowels and cake board are necessary.

I third that motion! Any time you're putting one cake on top of another, you should use boards and dowls.

If the sheet cake is only one layer and the numbers are only one layer, then you would not need a board or dowels.

If either cake is two layers, you would need them.

I'm thinking the numbers are separate, like a 7 and a 0, right? If so, I don't think you need boards under the numbers.

I did the same thing for the 50th birthday cake in my photos. I also did the numbers with candy melts and put it on top of the cake numbers. They were perfectly fine without a cake board or dowels. The pantastic pans are small enough to just sit on top of the sheet cake.

thanks for posting this - I didn't realize I should use cake boards when stacking multiple 2-layer cakes icon_redface.gif
