- Place one of the cakes upside down on a plate or cake stand then spread a layer of your favorite frosting on top. (We used Nutella Frosting.)
- Place the other cake upside down on top and frost the sides and top.
- Serve as is or decorate the top using your favorite piping tip to pipe small florets on top.
