If I understand correctly, you want to cover each cake with marzipan, stack them on top of each other, cover the stacked cakes with marzipan as a single tall cake, and then cover this with fondant? I think that this would work, however, and this is just my opinion, it’s a lot of marzipan and would give the cake quite a strong taste.

For the double height cake in this blog post, I had each fruit cake on a separate cake board and individually covered before stacking because the couple were planning to separate the cakes and keep one and serve the other. Otherwise, what I would’ve done (and what I suggest you do) is stack the cakes directly on top of each other with a single cake board under the bottom cake. Then apply the marzipan layer over both cakes as a single tall cake, then the fondant layer.

Good luck!

i was thinking i would put a layer of marzepan between the layers, as well as around the cake under fondant. i know this wouldnt have been an option for you in this case, but do you think this is a good idea?

thank you! (im glad i stumbled upon this website – its fantastic!)

I had that same fellow send me that emial last year. I was quite suspicous about it as well. He asked me for cc details and the only way he could pay was that way. I told him well that is to bad because I don’t give out credit card details at all.
