I am making a cake for the Sat. using the Wilton rocking horse pan. It's not enough cake for all the kids & parents going to be at the party so I was thinking about baking 2 and stacking them with a filling.

Is that going to work? It looks like the pan slightly bevels out so I am not sure if the bottom of one cake is going to line up with the top of the other or if I should flip the bottom one upside down or what?

Anyone ever done a 2 layer character cake?

Jorrer,

Hi, I always do this when making my cakes but people want them to be tall. Take aluminum paper with the wilton nonstick spray and clean the pan first, then spray the pan and third cut aluminum paper and put in inside the pan and go all around the pain, when the cake bakes it will rise up that is the way i have done it so far and thank GOD it always works. Best of luck from CT. icon_smile.gif

When I do a shaped pan that needs to feed more people, I put it on a larger sheet cake. For example, this weekend, I made a LIghtning McQueen cake for my son's birthday, but needed more than the car pan would feed. So, I baked an 11x15 sheet cake and made the car sitting on a road.

I thought about a sheet cake underneath it but my mom can't find her sheetcake pan and I don't have one.

I'd also like to have a filling, but I am afraid of trying to torte that oddshaped pan, so I was thinking a 2 layer cake would be nice.

The mom & birthday girl are ok with whatever I decide since I am giving this to them for free. The only request they made was a horse cake.

I have baked two separate cakes and stacked them. The last one was the Care Bears and they work fine. Good Luck with you cake.
