STEPS

A LEVELLING THE SURFACE

Make sure you divide the cake mixture evenly among the three cake pans, then level the surface with a spatula. For blue-ribbon success, the cakes need to be the same size after baking for neat, even layers.

B MERINGUE FROSTING

Make sure you dissolve sugar before bringing syrup to the boil.

Use a palette knife to spread top and side of cake evenly.
