Step:

  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
