Step 2Building the cake

building the cake
I have made cakes from scratch before but when I get elaborate like this, I like to focus my time on the shape and not measuring and mixing more than I have to. Hence I used cake mix from a store. I will not bother including steps on how to follow box instructions.

It took several cakes to make this, you can see there is sprinkle cake and marble cake blocks in this. After letting the cakes cool, I cut them to shape and fit them on the base. You can see I used newspaper to keep any mess off of the wood as I was building. I used copious amounts of icing as glue as I built the shape.
