pancakes as dessert: what do you think of this idea.

I've been on a pancake binge the past couple of days. I've been making the American style and British Style. I have to say, having never eaten them with lemon juice and castor sugar the British style were a welcome treat.

I'm looking for a new dessert to take a party next week and pancakes are my inspiration. What do you think: Layering 12- 18 extra large pancakes, each one dusted with powdered sugar and almond powder and serving with several different flavored syrups and some freshly whipped cream? I imagine something that is as tall as a cake but looks like baumkuchen when cut. I also know the French do something similar with crepes. Does anyone know the name?

Cheers,
