Melissa, Are all these cakes dense enough to be stacked? Thanks, Vivian
@MsGF- Yes it is! I’m craving chocolate cake now ;0) —
@Vivian- Yes, these can all be stacked. The one titled “Chocolate Cake- A Doctored Cake Mix” is the softest, but stackable as long as you have good supports. It wouldn’t be my first choice for fondant though.
