Valentines Cake :-)

This was my first proper attempt at a three tier cake - i've learnt from this to use dowling rods to support the weight of the cake to prevent bowing or squishing of the lower layers!

Three Tiers:-

Top Tier - Vanilla Sponge / Vanilla Buttercream & Strawberry Jam
Middle Tier - Chocolate Sponge / Chocolate Buttercream
Bottom Tier - Vanilla Spone / Vanilla Buttercream & Strawberry Jam

* Please note that this was the first proper attempt at icing!! *

I can honeslty say, it tasted amazing and was well worth all the effort that went into it!! I just wish I knew about the dowling trick before this cake!!
