Everyone should know how to correctly put together a cake.
And it really is simple enough for anyone to do.
Bake your cake in 2-4 pans depending on how many layers you would like to have inside each tier.
When the cake has cooled completely (I like to put mine in the freezer for at least a few hours) slice the top off each layer with a serrated knife.
Sprinkle the top of each layer with some simple syrup or even water.
Speead a little icing on your cakeboard to act as glue.
Add the rest of the layers with icing or filling in between each.
Smooth the icing off the sides of the cake and then freeze for at least 4 hours.
Ice the entire cake and then add a final coat of icing or fondant.
Enjoy your perfectly level cake!

Speead a little icing on your cakeboard to act as glue.
Place your first layer of cake on the cakeboard and spread a layer of icing or filling on top,
Add the rest of the layers with icing or filling in between each.
Find the lowest edge of the cake and use a sewing gauge to mark a position slightly lower than that height.
Insert toothpicks around the cake at the height measured by the sewing gauge then slice the top of the cake off with a serrated knife using the toothpicks as guides.
Ice the entire cake and then add a final coat of icing or fondant.
Enjoy your perfectly level cake!
