I take them out of the pan and let them cool completely and then I put in them the freezer for a little while and let them firm up and then I am able to do what I want with them

Are you using cardboard rounds under each layer? Are you using dowels (wooden or heavy drinking straws) to support the weight? Can't help too much until we know what you have tried that didn't work for you...

No it was just two 9-inch round cakes that I made.
I filled them with bc and strawberries. I think I am just not stacking them right. I can't remember how my teacher told me to place them.

Well, a good way to place the top layer on your filling layer is to place it on a cardboard cake round, hover that over the fililng layer, and then gently slide the top layer off the board and into place. That's a good way to do it without breaking the top layer. For layering, I cut the domes off and try to place them so that the "pan' side (the bottom while they're baking) ends up "UP" so I have a perfect surface to ice and decorate. Sometimes I tort the layers (cut them horizontally and add a layer of filling), sometimes I don't, depends on how tall it is. Does that help?

Yes, thank you very much. I will try that next time I make the round cakes. I think I just need to practice, I don't enjoy making the round ones and it shows with my cakes.
