re: just out of curiosity....

Yes I have Karen. One was a family b-day cake. Same, I was busy, it was a week or so before Christmas. Cake actually slid apart after arrival at my daughters, we all had a good chuckle …but it tasted great. I actually have crib notes now…reminders, cause I think everyone’s done it!!! We get busy, side tracked…we skip a step.
We’re the 8" and 6" stacked together already? If so, I wouldn’t have removed, would have pushed long straws/dowels through both layers.

Creativity is God's gift to us. Using our creativity is our gift back to God. Clarky's Cakes 😎
