Steps

1

Bake your cake.. Let it cool before removing it from the pan. Mine was a 2 kg red velvet baked in two tins
2

Using a ruler, measure the height of your cake...mine was 4 cm so I put my tooth pick at the 2 cm mark
3

It is important to level your cake if it has a dome
4

Gently,saw through the cake with your saw knife..cut through the cake till the other end
5

I ended up with four layers...simple syrup them and get ready to assemble your cake
6

I use glucose syrup to hold the cake on the board... You can use butter or whipped cream
7

Apply a layer of frosting on the first layer
8

The second layer...followed by the frosting
9

Do so till the last layer.. Crumb coat and chill for about 10 minutes
10

Add second layer of frosting.
