Ingredients

  1. Ready cake...about 2 or more
  2. Serrated Knife
  3. Turntable
  4. Filling
  5. Toothpick and ruler..optional
  6. Spirit level..optional

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    For starters, ensure you cake is well chilled...Patience, patience, patience!

  2. 2

    Cake temperature: Your cake should be completely cool..if possible, cover with cling film and chill...it becomes easy to cut across

  3. 3

    Cutting a warm cake will cause it crumble and break

  4. 4

    No.2..Uneven layers:All your cake layers should be equal...the ruler, toothpicks, and spirit level comes in handy here

  5. 5

    Stacking uneven layers will result in a loop sided and unbalanced cake...pay close attention

  6. 6

    Frosting a warm cake: Let me warn you, it is a messy affair. One, your frosting will melt and cause the cake layers to slide off resulting to an unbalanced cake

  7. 7

    Fillings:1.Do not overfill your cake...use fillings that blend well with the cake..e.g whipping cream and strawberries for a black/white forest

  8. 8

    No.2 on fillings: Create a dam around the cake for thinner fillings like jam or fruit purees..frosting such as buttercream is stable and will not leak from the sides

  9. 9

    Lastly, crumb, coat, and chill for a smoother finish
