You know what’s even better than a homemade cake? A homemade layer cake! Layer cakes take things up a notch, stacking up flavors with different colored layers and maybe even different flavors and textures in each tier. They’re not as tricky to make as you might think. Plus, you can get super creative by experimenting with various fillings, frostings, and flavors. Some cakes sport just two layers, while others go all out with loads of them!
