Laurie, did you use rice crispies for your daughter’s cake? how did it go? Any chance you’d put up some pics and your steps too?

By far, the BEST Tangled cake I’ve seen! I’m throwing my daughters a Tangled birthday party next weekend and I can already say that I don’t think I have it in me to make a cake that amazing!

Thanks for showing us how you made the cake. I was planning to make a tangled tower for a coworkers daughter and was looking for pictures when I came across your site. Being in a country where I can’t find everything I didn’t have a dowel but used a bunch of skewers through the cinnamon buns I made (I made them a little harder so they would stay up) I used a tunnel cake pan for the bottom and filled in the hole. Also skewering through the cake into the cupcake and cinnamon bun filling the hole. It is starting to lean a little but has been standing as just cake for a day and white iced for half a day. Hoping it makes it till morning in my fridge (which I removed a bunch of shelves out of so it would fit it is too hot and humid here to leave it out the icing melts) but will get up a little early in case it needs emergency repairs.

Amazing cake!!! I will be making a tower cake for my childs birthday as well. If I wanted the entire tower made of cake do you think it would work if I stacked mini cakes up the dowell or even did the same stacking technique you used with the pinwheels, except with cupcakes instead. I was thinking of cutting the tops off of the cupcakes to make them flat. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks! I’m no expert but I think as long as you have a dowel or something to keep the tower upright, and as long as the treats aren’t too gooey, it should work. You’ll probably need to “pre-drill” holes in the rice krispie treats so you can thread them onto the dowel. And don’t repeat my mistake: make sure you fill in the center of the bundt cake if you use one like I did. Maybe you could carve some rice krispie treats to fill it in, or do like the previous commenter said she was going to try–put some styrofoam in the middle or something along those lines.

First of all….AWESOME!!! I too have looked at about every single Tangled cake out there and this is the best one! Thank you so much for sharing your creation process! One question, instead of pecan rolls, how do you think the tower would do if made out of rice krispies? My thinking is it would be a little more stiff, maybe not as heavy, and give a cobblestone apperance when frosted. I have a circle cut the same size as the pecan rolls so I’d make a tray of krispies then cut, stack, and mortar in between. This will be my 1st attempt at an art cake, daughter’s birtday is in July so I’m starting to practice now, in case this is an epic fail and I have to do a Walmart cake!

Thanks! It was a lot of work but I enjoyed it. And my daughter’s reaction (and those of her friends) made it all worth it!

Best Tangled cake I’ve seen!!! I’ve seen 4 other Tangled tower cakes and yours is the best one. I love the Bundt cake idea, it gives it a look of the tower on top of a mound. I’m thinking of doing that and putting a small styrofoam in the middle, wrap it with foil and then sticking the dowel in that. I also love that you covered the tower with white frosting and a lot of leaves- just like in the movie. Other Tangled cakes are just decorated with a little bit of green frosting and leaving the pecan rolls without decoration. Yours looks awesome! GREAT GREAT JOB!!!!
