   • Your favorite cake recipe or mix (14 cups batter needed)
   • Plastic ruler
   • Cake pedestal

2. -

   One day in advance, bake and ice cakes. Use your favorite cake recipe or mix and make 14 cups of batter, then bake and cool two 6 inch and two 8 inch cake layers according to pan directions.

   Level, fill, and stack two 8 inch layers for a 4 inch high cake and two 6 inch layers leveled to 2 1/2 inches each for a 5 inch high cake. Place on same size cake boards.

   Using spatula, ice 6 inch cake smoothly. Ice 8 inch cake, leaving spatula marks. Place 8 inch cake on pedestal and prepare cake for stacked construction. Stack cakes.

3. - Prepare cake for decorating. Starting at bottom of 6 inch cake, mark 2 inch half circle using cut-out "C". Continue marking half-circles, building on either side of starting half-circle. Stop pattern 1 inch from top edge of cake. Arc should measure about 11 inches wide when completed.
4. -

   Decorate cake. Prepare decorating bag with coupler and tip 2; fill bag with stiff icing.

   Helpful Hint: Starting with bottom row, pipe center half circle first, moving to left and right of center. Then move to second row.

   Pipe tip 2 dots along markings made with cut-out. Switch to tip 3 and pipe row of dots in middle of arch. Fill in empty space with rows of tip 1 dots. Pipe one tip 4 dot in bottom center of arch.

   Arrange herbs and flowers on cake, if desired.
