I have to stack a big cake and Im really scared I made a pontoon boat out of fondant and rice krispies with the man whose birthday it is and his wife driving and all his grandchildren in the boat. The middle willbe a half sheet size of carrot and yellow cake THis will be on the thickest foam board from Michaels. I am going to need to stack the pontoon boat ontop of the cake and travel about 30 minutes with it not crashing into the cake How do I do that Im scared!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TIA Terri
Hi Terry:) Welcome Back. 1st off I don’t think that board is going to hold up — ! If I understand your post correctly this is a 1/2 sheet sized cake w/the pontoon boat & other things on it. That’s not really all that heavy:) (think 4 tiered wedding cake) Having a good solid base board is the key so .... double that board you got! Just glue the 2 together. As for putting the pontoon o is there any way to put it on a small cake board that will be supported w/dowels In the sheet cake ? W/o it detracting from the design? Like maybe ice it like water Can you attach a pic of the pontoon? Maybe sitting on a 1/2 sheet pan for size comparison...
Exactly as kakeladi said, mount your pontoon boat on a base substantial enough to easily handle the weight of the boat and dowel your half sheet cake just like you would for a stacked cake. I would use straws spaced approximately 2" - 3" apart distributed where the boat will set. Hope this makes sense!
