You are going to be shocked, but my husband does not like cake!!!
Who doesn't like cake??!!!!
Anyway he does like cookie cakes. Is there any way to make a cookie cake other than flat and in a circle?
I would like to try something different.
Any suggestions are welcome
thanks.

There is a post somewhere on here about using character pans with cookie dough instead of cake batter and I think ideas went from there. It was just in the last couple of days! And btw, is your husband seeking help for his problem? or is he just in denial? Mine certainly doesn't have any cake issues! And that's not always a good thing!
Good suggestion. Yes, you can bake cookie dough or even brownies in the shaped or character pans. You just have to make sure you grease them well. I made a brownie ice cream cake for my oldest son's birthday a few years ago in the Wilton guitar pan. It was very good!

Just saw this.
Many years ago we had a neighbour that didn't like cakes or icing, so for fun, along with his birthday cakes, I made him a five tiered cookie cake. Just came across it and posted the idea on another site a few days ago. There is no reason why this couldn't be done more elaborately, I just made up cookies of different sizes and stacked them. But you could use different sized pans or cookie cutter, different kinds of cookies too. You could ice them or drizzle icing, licorice strings, sprinkles whatever you like. You can cover them with fondant and decorate like you would individual cookies, only stack them. You could push a long taper candle through the centre. Nice thing is, no boarding or dowelling, haha, well unless you want.
This was just regular old chocolate chip cookie dough, shaped into different sized balls and flattened and baked. You could make all different flavours of cookies, too.

Does your husband like chocolate chip squares (cross between a cookie and brownie), whip cream, chocolate icing?
If so, I would make the chocolate chip squares in a cake pan the size you want. Make several and stack them with whip cream or icing between the layers. Then ice and decorate just like a regular cake. I think my husband would love this. I would stick a dowel down the center to hold it together and keep it from sliding, esp. if you use whip cream for a filling.
Thanks for all the suggestions. I think I am going to make a tiered cookie and the fondant over it all.
do you think that would work??

Hhmn, do you mean stacking some cookies of the same size and then covering them with fondant like one unit? I think it would work fine, are you thinking of using buttercream on the cookie first to adhere or just brushing on a bit of royal glue (1tsp. water to 1 tsp. meringue powder mixed)\?/ If you sandwich them, you would have to make sure the sides are smooth. I cannot see any reason why you cannot cover them with buttercream, then fondant.
I was thinking more of covering individual cookies of the same size sandwiched with filling and then covered with fondant, similar to how you would do a cake, but having say, a few tiers of these stacked and covered cookies stacked like a stacked cake. Is this what you mean?
Or you could just cover the tops and sides of individual cookies with fondant and have different sizes and stack these.
Any way you look at it, it should all work fine!

Yes squirrelly, I meant the latter. do each one individually. glad to hear I can do that.
his birthday is in a couple of months so I have time to practice with fondant!
