After the cakes were baked, we put them in the fridge to chill overnight. Cutting the cakes into smaller layers was easy the next day, especially with a proper cake-cutting knife!
You get quite a bit of leftovers (the tops are uneven so those went into this massive scrap pile)
Then it's as simple as putting the layers together with LOTS of yummy icing in-between. I used vanilla for the middle layer, chocolate for the bottom, and cream-cheese for the top.
I used regular store-bought frosting to ice the cakes before they go BACK into the fridge to chill again which helps later in the process so it's not a big melty blob.
After the cakes had time in the fridge again, it was time to roll out the homemade marshmallow fondant we made earlier, and put everything together.
What a mess this makes!
One. Cake. At. A. Time.
All stacked!
Then it was time to pull out the good-for-many-purposes glue-gun to put some ribbon around the layers and then we used florist-tape to cover the ends of some gerber daisies for more cake decorations
All done!
