Portal Cake

Step 4 Layer Construction

Since this is a prototype, I'll only be making a 1/2 cake (semi-circle) for this instructable using two 9-inch cake circles cut in half and stacked on top of each other.

You could leave the layers whole and just have a stack of two, but in my opinion, the cake looks too short compared to the reference when set up that way. If all goes well, I'll use 4 full layers next time.

• Take the first layer and place the flat side down onto the surface carefully.
• Prepare your choice of filling in another bowl.
• Take a spatula, scoop a golf-ball size of filling, and plop onto the center of the top of the layer.
• Spread the filling to a thickness so that it won't squeeze out under the weight of the other layers (too thick) or expose the cake underneath (too thin). Add more as you go, if needed.
• Repeat for the areas between remaining layers.

This is perfect working. ;)

actually, you should place the flat side up when you put the cake layer down. this makes it easier for the layers to be stacked on top of it, especially with so many of the layers. if you place it flat side down, round side up, the other layers are at risk of sliding off.
