Observations

To assemble : Slice the cake into 2 layers. Brush the top of bottom layer with the syrup, then spread about 1/3 of the filling over. Place the top layer over and brush with the syrup before frosting the whole cake with the remaining filling. Decorate as required and leave the cake to set in the fridge for few hours before serving.
