Double Barrel Birthday Cake
Second time to do a double barrel cake. Both tiers are 9" and boy, I was worried about getting the fondant on that tall of a cake. It's a fudgey chocolate cake that is very thick and oh sooooo heavy!!! Of course, once I got the fondant on, the few air bubbles I had were in the front and had to use a pin to fix. I ended up putting back in the fridge to firm up and turned it so they wouldn't be in front - not horrible but bugs me. The customer is putting the topper on - it will be red roses and sparkly "Fab and 40" upright verbiage pick.

Thanks Sandra - Oh, it's 9" rounds - gracious I would die if I had to cover an 18" high cake. Total height after frosting is 9 1/2".

Every cake has a "back side", Becky, so don't worry about it. The cake is gorgeous, especially for one that is 18" tall!

Thanks Betty - yes, I put 4 small wooden dowels in the bottom tier. My chocolate cake is very rich and heavy and I wanted to make sure it didn't sink. The pin holes that I had to make to get rid of the air bubbles were moved to the back side :)

That's a TALL cake, looks pretty. Did you have to use supports or anything, never made one that tall.
Nice work on getting it so smooth.
