Bank of Franklin 100 Year Anniversary Cake
This Bank of Franklin 100 Year Anniversary cake was the largest sheet cake I’ve ever made or even seen in person.
I don’t have a lot to tell you about it except the sheer size was well… huge!
I baked four (4) 12×18 sheet cakes. I stacked them two layers tall and pushed them together to make a cake that was 18″ x 24″ and 4″ tall. I had to have help carrying the cake… it weighed a ton. It was so large we had to cut plywood and cover it with cake paper to carry it because no cake drum was sturdy enough!
The cake was a delicious moist yellow cake with vanilla buttercream. I ordered the edible image from an eBay shop and it turned out great!
*My camera was broken when I did this cake, so I didn’t get many pictures and the ones I have aren’t all that great :-/
Do you have any questions about this cake? Please leave them in the comments and I’ll do my best to answer and help out!
Rose, another great job! Compared to your other masterpieces, this cake must have been a walk in the park, cake making 101! When you say the cake was two layers, that means you did NOT slice each slab cake in two, correct? Did you keep all four cakes intact and just stack them whole? Thanks!
Thank you! 🙂 I didn’t cut or torte any cake!! On the board, I slid two of the 12×18 sheets together, then I did a dam of frosting (including some dam frosting down the middle to give more support. Then I filled all that in with buttercream and stacked two more whole cakes on top. Then I frosted it as one massive sheet cake! Does that make it clearer?
Thank you! That is crystal clear…nice job!
Did you print the sign with edible ink? if so, which company did you use and will it melt when you applied on the cake right away? Thank you so much and you did a wonderful work!!!
I purchased the edible image so I cannot tell you what brand it was, but now I use this brand from Amazon. I also sell printed edible images now if you’re ever in the market for one!
