Step 9The Assembly
Once you have baked all four cakes, and they have cooled to room temperature, you're ready to start the assembly. Attempting to assemble the cake while it is still warm will just melt the icing, not pretty.
Most times you will end up with a cake that has a slight hump, where the center is higher than the edges. If you do not remove this hump before assembly it will make the cake unstable and it won't be as solid when you go to carve it.
Using a long knife (or a cake leveler, which I purchased right after this project was completed), carefully slice into the cake at the same level as the edges, all the way around, and remove the hump. You can set it aside and sample it to ensure the quality of the product.
Apply a generous layer of frosting to the top of each layer before adding the next one.
I left the fourth layer uncut, since I wanted the hump to look more like the back of the bunny anyway.
