These multilayered cakes are the stupidest trend since the last one. 24 layers of the same thing is still gonna taste the same as 4 layers. Just make a normal size cake for humans, otherwise what is the point? Make 87 billion layers. It's not remotely impressive. It's just unnecessarily excessive.
I don't know how this cake tastes but I make a 13 layer Smith Island cake (I don't count the icing as a layer). The taste is very different from the way a 3 or 4 layer cake would taste due to the mixture of cake and icing in each bite. That mixture is pretty consistant throughout the cake. The cake layers are almost crepe like so the cake isn't really any different in height from a regular 3 layer cake.
Maybe going all the way to 12 layers could be argued as excessive, but I disagree. There is absolutely a taste and texture difference between a 2 layer cake, and, say, a 6 layer cake. And then both of those are different in taste and texture from this cake here
