Has anyone made a "house" cake from the Wilton pan using 2 cakes and put them together ? If so....... how do you put them together without one leaning, or pulling apart ? Would you dowel them, and put a layer of frosting between ? OR would you need dowels at all ?

I haven't but I would ice them and stick them together and than out a dowel from the top corner to the bottom corner of the opposite cake. Does that make sense? HTH matbe someone else can help you better

No, that makes GOOD sense, silver..... I'm going to put it on a sheet cake, so maybe run it right through the whole thing....... This morning I was asking about a doll cake.....we moved to a new house recently, and for the life of me, I cannot find that wonder mold..... icon_mad.gif soooo..... this is my second choice..... I'll give it a try.....THANKS !!

Glad I made sense. Just make sure you do two dowels but put one higher than the first one so you don't hit the first one. Make any sense? Good Luck with it!

I made one just like that and did not dowel it at all. When they came out I just trimmed their bottoms and backs so they would have just a slight lean backwards (would lean together) and did ice between them. It turned out just perfect! Then while they were cooling my 4 year old (at the time) took two big handfuls out of one that I had to cover and fill with icing icon_cry.gif !!

It is in my photos - looks just like the cake pan box!
