Just in time for spring! And Mother's Day!
6 layers in 6 different flavors, dressed Hawaiian style! With matching flavored marshmallow buttercream, and appropriate *GummyGel & fruit toppings per layer.
I used bakers grease, equal amounts of flour, Crisco, & oil, to cover the bottom only of three 6" tins. I cut 18, 22" x 3", strips of parchment paper, can get 4 from each 22" long piece. These were placed around the inside walls of the tin, and anchored in place with a little shortening, paper to paper.
Using three 6" pans, put 1 1/3 cups batter in each, about 2/3s full, and bake per instructions.
Remove from oven, loosen parchment paper as needed from side of pan, remove cake by picking up on the paper, and the cake will come with it. Place cake on cooling rack, peel off the paper, and immediately brush on the simple syrup, cover the cakes with saran wrap, and put them in the fridge to cool, not on the rack.
To assemble the cake, starting at the bottom, and working up, we have:
#6 (bottom)- A lemon cake with lemon/lime flavored marshmallow buttercream, topped with lemon, & lime, flavored GummyGel gems, and lemon & lime zest.
#5- To complete this pair of light & dark, we have a pure mint chocolate cake with pure mint flavored marshmallow buttercream, topped with pure mint flavored GummyGel gems, & grated chocolate. (pure mint, not peppermint)
#4- A pineapple coconut cake with coconut flavored marshmallow buttercream, topped with finely chopped coconut flakes & pineapple.
#3- To complete this pair of light & dark, an orange chocolate cake with orange flavored marshmallow buttercream, topped with orange flavored GummyGel gems, & zest from an orange.
#2- A golden yellow cake with vanilla & almond flavored marshmallow buttercream, topped with sliced strawberries & grated dark chocolate.
#1 (top)- A fudge chocolate cake with vanilla & almond flavored marshmallow buttercream, topped with a sprinkle of powdered sugar(witch soaked in & mostly disappeared!), then 3 pools of the marshmallow buttercream with 3 of the juiciest big red strawberries I could find!!
*Used my recipe for edible 'GummyGel'

Thanks! I loved this cake. It was delicious!! It was hard to decide which of the 6 flavors I liked best, and I finally decided on the 'orange chocolate', and the 'pineapple coconut'. lol
Great Job
Thanx! The straws were just high enough that when we unstacked each dark/light combo, the tops of each were not even messed up, & still quite pretty!
Yummy... now... how to cut it...????
