CBC's 50th Anniversary Cake

This was the cake I made for our church's 50th Anniversary Celebration this past Sunday. It was 5 layers tall and we have no idea exactly how many pounds it weighed!! It had 2 chocolate layers, 2 banana layers, and one yellow w/strawberry filling layer.

here is the 4th layer before it was frosted.

this is a frosted layer--no fondant yet.

here is one of the round layers, frosted and with the ribbon already on--basically ready to be stacked together the next day. I store my layers overnight in individual boxes so they don't dry out at all. There are dowel rods inserted in all but the top layers--designed to help support the weight of the cake so it doesn't sink down into itself!!
