Stacking ring cake. Help please.

no i don't think cakes need to make sense t

that's part of their charm

i'd recommend that you watch some you tube videos on how to stack a cake

here's a link if it works

for the rings you need to carve them out of cake to get that look

then cover with fondant

i think i might try them one ring at at time--that could be a crumbling nightmare to do two rings at once

not necessarily the easiest design for a newbie

i'd recommend using your favorite pound cake recipe

oh good this is not your first time with carving

y'know some cakes we make according to servings some we make for the profile

this is a profile cake

you might have plenty leftover but who is that ever a serious problem for y'know?

what i'd recommend is taking measurements of the real deal the toy itself and use that as your guide

rather than just the logical sounding pan size

consider making a pattern -- it frees you up to concentrate on other things later on

you might wanna consider baking a sheet cake in whatever size pan you have and cut circles out of that

12,000 different pathways huh

hope you get a chance to post a picture

hope all goes exceedingly well!!!

and you asked about the ring shape

y'know once you cut the cakes the right sizes

the right circumference and the right corresponding height

they don't have to have the holes in the center like the real toy of course

and the fondant will take care of the rounding for you

and what a sweet project for baby's first

ask away if anything comes up

Very, very cute, well done!!
