As someone who bakes a lot of cheesecakes, I can tell you you don't want to stack them directly on top of one another. If you can, use dowels and dividers and give the bottom cake at least a 1/2" clearance in between so your bottom cheesecake can "breathe" or it will get soggy. You can hide the gap with piped or fondant accents.

Another nice way I've seen people do cheesecakes rather than traditional cakes is to get a "spiral" display. (If this is for a fancy, formal party you can sometimes rent these at a rental place).

Hope this helps!

Hi Stacy

what about coloring the cheesecake with gel paste colors (pink, brown, whatever her favorite colors are) and decorate with fondant accents. Here is a whole page of sweet 16 (not cheesecakes but fondant cakes) for inspiration.
