The other night I was browsing Food & Wine Mag online. I was telling CB how they had sooo many great looking layer cakes. I love layer cakes, but… I need a lot more work with mine. I think its a skill I have not yet picked up on. I figured there must be more people like me that want to get better at making layer cakes, or who just enjoy making them. Layers of Cake was born.
This event is easy, easy, easy. Well, as far as rules go. (In comparison to TWD)
The rules of Layers of Cake are:
- Pick a recipe for a layer cake
- Bake said layer cake
- Post by the last day of the month
- Send me a link to the post at superslush AT gmail.com
Thats it. Pick a recipe, make a layer cake, have a photo session, post it, email it in.
Since it is so late in July, lets shoot for the last day in August, Sunday the 31st. Try to put Layers of Cake in the subject, or even LoC for those of you who like to shorten everything. I get too much email and it will help me spot them quicker. Thankyouverymuch.
Now, go pick out a layer cake recipe and bake it up. Im going to make this or this. But hell, your the one making the cake, make whatever you want!

thanks for thinking of this wonderful event!
i love the idea of LoC! i’m definitely more of a cake chick than a pie chick. i will submit the cake i’m gonna bake for my husband’s b-day in august…nice!
Love cake – quite my favorite dessert. This event will be very exciting. Sherrytrifle.
events come and go, but this…this is stellar. i absolutely can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with, and don’t you worry, i’ll have one of my own in the mix. 🙂
i totally need help w/my layer cakes!! and my cake decorating skills! i will see what i can come up with 🙂 great idea
Muah! I’m so excited. I only have, oh, 15 or so that have been bookmarked for ages! And away we go!!
Another event!?!? This is madness..! And I love it. Awesome.
Indeed sounds like a fun event. Hmmmmm…thinking…
I really need practice on layer cakes…sounds like a good time to start!!
I would love to participate in this! My layer cake skills are quite lacking so the practice would be great for me.
This sounds like fun. I dislike cake -really, I do. But I actually like putting them together, and I need a lot more practice, since my husband LOVES cake. Great idea!
im loving this event!!!! cant wait to submit my first cake!
Hello! I got the link to this event from a blog called “Good eats ‘n’ sweet treats”
I’ll definitely be joining in!! I don’t know how you’re going to decide between the two cakes you linked, I certainly can’t 😉 I’m going to find a recipe with bananas, i think… I’ve had a sudden craving for them recently. Bring it on!
has anyone made their cake already?! i am lagging!!!! i need some inspiration.
This sounds fun. I’m really bad at making layer cakes, so this will help me practice. 🙂
just stumbled on your blog. very nice. i am going to attempt some of your recipes and even submit something for layers of cake, i need the practice. (i vote for the milk chocolate, peanut butter cake) … cheers!
LoC is a great event, I love baking cakes. I can’t wait to join in next time. sadly i didn’t see the post until now, but i will definitely join in LoC for september!

Hello,
Are you still hosting the layers of cake event for this month? Jaime mentioned submiting a layered cake that I had made but I wasn’t certain of the particulars.
Thank you!
