Cake Decorating

Half and half cake

Hi everyone! I got an order for the cake pictured above. I’m always up for a new challenge and this is one because I’ve never done something like this before. Any advice for this? I guess I’m just not sure how to put the whole thing together when assembling. Thanks I advance for any tips!!

It’s Zoe of Zoe’s Fancy Cakes. If you click the find icon top left, and click members…just type in her name.
I’m sure if you messaged Zoe, she would be more than willing to give you some tips.

Thanks June! Another option is to simply click on the cake I added to the comment above and then click on her name.

I sent a message to Zoe already with a link to this Forum Topic, but didn’t get a respond yet…so you can try to contact her by yourself.

Hi. I have made two of these cakes and both went together really well. Do not stress too much about stacking the cakes. Depending on the type of stacking system you use, you should be able to put it together with ease. I use the Wilton plates with the pillars for all of my cakes. If you want to have it spiraled like the photo, just be sure to pay close attention to how you insert the pillars for the next stacked tier. A few tips I learned were…. 1. to put the ganache in a squeeze bottle to apply it to the cake, 2. remember to start your draping from the bottom, 3. be sure to ask about the type of cake topper they have. If it’s a pick type of topper, then it will go on with ease, but if the topper has a base, you will need to be sure to leave a flat surface on top so it sits level. (learned that one after my first cake). Good luck!
