Abstract.
I will recall the recipe for the construction of the O(n)x O(1)-symmetric "ancient pancake" solution to the mean curvature flow (joint with Bourni and Tinaglia), and then show how to join two pancakes together with a neck to form a "pancake stack" (joint with Mramor and Yudowitz). Whereas the ancient pancake admits a very precise description, the somewhat different approach employed to construct the pancake stack does not yield very precise information, leaving some interesting questions open.
