This is a first for me! 18 cakes at one time, but it only took about 6 hours total, including cleanup after each set of 3 cakes. Wasn't bad at all. lol Just loved finding out about the parchment paper idea. And I was able to take every one of the cakes, all 18, out of the pans by lifting them out still in the paper, then removing it before it could cool off & stick. I just love this stuff! Anyway, here we have the 6 layers, with 3, 6" cakes, per layer, and each layer is a different flavor! I hope they all taste as good as they smell! Luckily I have the spare fridge in the basement.

Never imagined I would ever be doing something like this! They are in the fridge now cooling, so I can start torting, filling, & stacking for tomorrow! The aim is to end up with 3 finished 6 layer cakes. They are for a Mother's Day family gathering, my sister's BD, and my son's BD, all on Saturday & Sunday.

They are going to be naked cakes, no frosting on the top or sides. Well, maybe some on the top of one of them, but I am going for the bare effect with these. At least, that is the plan for now. Will have to wait & see how they look before I put it in stone!

And, Yes, there are 18 cakes in there. Why so many, you may ask?!? Because each box made '3' 6" cakes. I used '6' boxes to get the 6 flavors I needed. Simple math; 3 x 6 = 18. lol

So I will end up with '3' cakes, instead of 1, '6' layers tall (unless they topple over?!!) Whoopie!!

Blimey!  Marathon indeed.  I admire your stamina Bonnie!  I've always used parchment paper to bake - it's the English way I guess!  Very boring cutting it to fit etc., but worth it in the end.

Good luck Bonnie !!! Put a soda straw thru each 3- layer, that will help keep them from toppling. Post pics.

Wow Moma!!! Yes Bonnie...when I'm in a hurry, and need to use the pan right away, I use parchment paper. It is great stuff....
