re: It's a surprise cake.

Thank you all.
Roos, yes it was. I originally planned to transport it in 2 pieces, so the 12" and 10" together and the 8" and 6", but ran into a big problem trying to separate the cakes, so ended up sticking it all together and getting my husband to carry it as I couldn’t! Learnt a lot from this one, so hoping to get another one to perfect it :D
