Has anybody made 2 cakes with the House pan and put them together to make a full-size house/barn?

I have a Barn cake to make and wanted to use that for the basic shape. How stable is it if you put them back to back? And do you need to secure it with anything other than frosting?

Thanks in advance--Pam

I just did that to make a dog house. You can see the photo in my pictures. I did use a dowel and it worked great. I put one dowel in each cake then stuck the dowel through the cake into the board and it was nice and firm.

My barn cake is 2 house pans back to back.

You need to level the backs of the cakes, sandwich them together with icing, then level the bottom.

Whether on another cake (like my barn) or directly on the cake board, I would hammer one or two sharpened dowels into EACH half of the house for stability if you're transporting the cake. If the cake is staying where it's assembled, you shouldn't need to take such drastic measures.

That barn house cake is darling! I didn't have to level my cake. But then again it was a dog house that was to look like a kid made it for thier dog. So a bit messy is fine. icon_biggrin.gif
