I am trying to find any info on how to make a Twisted Tea 3d can cake. It needs to serve 60-65. I know I need to stack the layers just not sure how wide I can make the layers (6", 8" or 10") without losing the can shape. Do I need to carve the top & the bottom to get the can shape? Any info on making this cake would be deeply appreciated.

i'm not familiar with that -- do you have a picture of it?
ok so i looked it up -- just a can that's named, twisted tea --

all you need to do is keep it in proportion -- so that can in the picture ^^^ in the link is approximately 2.5 times taller than it is wide --
ergo if you use 6" cakes your stack needs to be 15" tall -- give or take plus yes to get it right you need to taper the very top and bottom a bit -- and if you fudge to 16" tall you'll get 56 servings
if cakes are 8" your stack should be 20" to maintain the right proportion -- like 125 servings
but 7" cakes need to be about 18" tall -- and gives you about 76 servings
so your bottom board -- hot glue a slice of 2" foam 7x7" under an 11x11" foam core board -- plant a nice secure 1/2"dowel in the middle all the way through -- hot glue it -- slide your cakes & boards onto the pole --
or:

those are the plates ^^^ see the tubes here:
http://www.efavormart.com/acrylic-cake-stand-tubes.aspx
secure a 10" or 12" acrylic plate between a couple thick foamcore boards allowing a hole where the 18" tube will fit and trim it to the height you need -- this is very secure
picture pictures pictures --
you still there?
