Ice one then put the other one on top so the icing works as a glue.

put a bit of iceing in the middle, spread it on, like jam on toast, then put the rest on the top. all over the cake if you have alot.

yep

That would be the best way.

Yep and then ice the sides! Hope ur cake is yummy.

well, first freeze ur cakes it'll be easyer to not have them fall apart...then put a layer of frosting on the top of one, then put the other cake on the top of your other one, and frost that both of them at the same time....good luck!

that is a good way or u can buy more iceing and then decoreate the whole cake it will be delicious hope it is

depends on how you want to do it but if you use this method it works for both one by one or on top of each other,....

if you have a cake stand or a little pedistool, place the cake(s) on that and then move the entire stand not the cake. just rotate the cake and hold your knife/spatula still while applying

First smooth the tops of the cakes with a knife. The spread icing on the top of one cake, then set the other cake on top.

Smooth the sides of the both cakes while they are together. Then spread icing over the sides and top. Keep the knife you are using to spread the frosting clean to create a smooth finish. Don't even worry about keeping it clean if you want a swirled finish.

Place 3 strips of waxed paper under the first one in a triangle, out towards the outer edges. Place first cake down on that. Put some icing in center and spread. Place second cake on top. Ice top, and then ice sides. Pull the waxed paper out and your plate will even be clean and it'll look great!

what horse girl said is right

Allow it to fully cool. That is very important. Dust off the crumbs first. It'll save lots of grief. Frost the top of the bottom one, then lightly frost the top and sides. Place it in the freezer for a bit, until it gets solid and then put on the rest of the frosting. It will go on much smoother, look nicer, and you should not end up with crumbs in your icing (unless you work too slowly).

I imagine the best way to ice two cakes (one on top of the other stacking) is to put the cakes on top of each other before being iced

*tip: make sure the cake is cooled down or else the icing will melt on the cake, not good

then ice them together

I always spread a layer of strawberry or rasperry jam, then some whipped cream with sugar and vanilla in it, put the top one, then ice it.

Yes but make sure the cakes are thoroughly cooled (I would suggest approx. 2+ hours). If not, the top one will crack.

well I doubt that you have enough icing...
but...set one layer down on a plate (or whatever you're using) make sure it's flat (look at it sideways and cut off the top, so it IS flat.)
ice the middle (all over to the ends), then make sure the next layer is flat, cut off the top if you have to...put the TOP down on the top of the bottom layer. (so the tops face each other). then use a small amt to CRUMB coat the entire cake. Make sure you get all the cake iced a bit....let it sit a min or two...then ice the cake with the rest...(try and make sure you don't get crumbs in the outside icing.) clean the plate (from smears) with a spatula (rubber one) or a moistened paper towel.

you might want to get some more icing...those small cans are usually only enough for 2, 8" cake rounds.

The easiest way is to ice the top of the bottom one first, then put the second on and then ice the sides of both together. Finally ice the top of the second one.
It can be difficult to do with only one thing of iceing, but its not impossible.
