if you bake 2 cakes and stack them on top of each other, how many cakes do you have?

kaoudis,

@kellogh depends on whether you glue them together with filling or not, this changes the cake topology since then there is not a thin gap between the two cakes

@kaoudis did you learn about cake topology in an upper-level math class?

kaoudis,

@kellogh nah the best way to learn about cake topology is by eating cake - practical exploration if you will

    @admin meh, i never believed edits were real anyway

    FOR THE RECORD it says "if you baked two cakes". Let it be known.

    @kellogh Entirely depends on if they are joined by or encased in frosting.

    @vees don't abstain from this vote!

    @kellogh I voted "it depends" but I felt the clarity was important

    remi,

    @vees @kellogh

    I think it also depends on shapes. If you baked a round cake, and then baked a square cake, then stacked them, I think you could reasonably say you have two cakes stacked rather than one as-built cake assembly with multiple cake parts regardless if the cake BOM included frosting.

    @remi @vees what if you bake a round and a square cake, but cut the round one half and put each half on adjacent sides of the square one?

    remi,

    @kellogh @vees Clearly I am out of my depth with the mechanical baking and assembly arts :D
