Karen, I made it on Wednesday for my step daughter's birthday. I don't usually get much response from the kids anymore, they have become complacent :(

Beautiful! you said you did 2, 8 in rounds. How did you get it so tall? Did you use lots of filling?

dtmc, I use 3 inch high tins and overfill them so the finished cake is3 inches deep, so the 2 cakes stacked on top of each other makes the cake about 6 inches. I don't tend to use filling, I just sandwiched the cakes together with chocolate ganache. Filling are not used as much here in Australia as they are in the States, but your cakes over there sound sooooo delicious :)

This cake was for my daughter, so it wasn't delivered, but it was fairly sturdy, I would have taken the lid off, and re-assembled it if I had to deliver it.

How did you cover the round cake lid with the fondant so perfectly? No seams. I can barely cover a round cakeboard without wrinkles. :lol:
