I have a boy's birthday cake due this weekend, theme is The Avengers. His family has been extremely supportive of my little cake business, and this is the third year I'm making his cake. I tend to go over-the-top on his cakes every year, so there is some pressure to make a pretty great cake. The problem is I'm at the end of a very busy cake season and frankly I'm tired as I work a FT job too. I just don't have it in me to do something really amazing, but I want to do something special for him.
I came up with the idea of three 6" rounds stacked vertically, each one representing a different Avenger, with Thor's hammer on top, so it will be tall and narrow. I've never seen a cake stacked this way, has anyone tried this? I've never stacked layers of the same size on top of each other. I do use the Stress-Free support system so I'm not concerned about it collapsing, and a center dowel obviously is a must. I think it would be pretty cool to have a tall straight tower of cake, and that could give me the cool factor I need without being too difficult. They don't need a huge number of servings. Thoughts? Thanks in advance!
