I got started making cakes for my granddaughters’ birthdays. Totally self-taught and figure it out as I go. The youngest this year wanted a TMNT cake but wanted it tiered like her aunt’s recent wedding cake. So built a stand from PVC pipe and covered with metal print duct tape to help it look like sewer pipe. Each layer represents one of the turtles and was a different flavor. Big hit with the kids at the party.
