How to Assemble Like a Pro
Now that you've chosen your desired cake filling, it's time to master the art of assembly. One common challenge when working with filled layer cakes is preventing the filling from squishing out the sides and causing a messy appearance. But fear not – we have a simple solution.
Before applying the filling, create a buttercream dam around the top edge of each cake layer. This involves piping a ring of buttercream frosting along the perimeter of the cake layer. The buttercream acts as a barrier, keeping the filling contained and ensuring a neat and tidy appearance when the remaining layers are added.
By using a buttercream dam, you can assemble your filled layer cake with confidence, knowing that each slice will be as beautiful as it is delicious.
