HI all
Someone has asked me make a cake like above. I have never made this tall cake for real but i have decorated dummy one's.
1.SO does this cake need extra support ? That means should i dowel the layers , Should there be a center dowel too with added cardboard layer in between?This is going to be a buttercream cake with chocolate n vanilla SMBC.
2.How many layers does this cake have? 4 or 5 layers? 1 cake mix is enough or i need more than 1 cake mix?
3.How tall is this cake ? 5" or 6" ?
I made this cake from 1 cake mix . this was not even 5" in height. (sorry about the background)
4. What is the exact color of the cake ? 1st i added wilton's magenta and i got this color of icing 
and then i added red , so that i could get the exact color but instead it changed to something different(following pic) which i didn't liked at all.
can anyone tell me please what is the exact color( in the 1st pic) ? how can i achieve that color.
........ does this cake need extra support ? That means should i dowel the layers ,.... should i dowel the layers ........
You make 4 or 5 layers - each 2" tall, then work them exactly as you would otheer cakes - each consisting of 2 layers w/filling on a cake board, then stack them one on the other. Extra doweling really isn't necessary - just what you would use when ever tiering any cake. Personally I do not use a center dowel very much unless I am transporting. If you are using a 6" round pan, then one mix using my *original* WASC recipe https://www.cakecentral.com/recipe/7445/the-original-wasc-cake-recipe will be enough for all those layers. If using anything bigger you probably will need 2 mixes.
As for color of the sample cake (1st one posted) it's hard to say *exactly* what color it is. Different computers present colors differently sometimes. There are many new shades on the market that I am not fimilar with & each company names their color something different, so can't help there. Maybe someone has made that exact color and can tell you.
